Comanche Outcrop on Mars Indicates Hospitable Past

I was expecting this: http://www.expedia.com/daily/mars/hotels-mars/default.asp?mcicid=Mars_us

Folks, I don’t want to get on an airplane and fly to Atlanta, let alone Mars. I’m just afraid that the cell phone service would not be up to par on Mars, and I’m not sure if I would like all of the really hot foods that I can only imagine must be plentiful there.

I understand Mar’s bars are very good.

The Algonquin there in the foreground looks at least as hospitable as its namesake. But concierge services may be subject to 2 year delays if you’re asking for sliced soap.

The last time we climbed Olympus Mons in July 2026, our life support suits didn’t exactly make it easy to bathe. :really:

In the OP is that there one o’ them 2-D pictures or whatever you call it?

That would be one 'o them Minkowski dimensional photos using that Lorentz lens transformation camera the NACA uses.

Ah. Right. I knew that. :wink:

If you zoom in very close, there’s something that looks a lot like Sea Monkey eggs.

What I see is one big-@$$ parking lot.

it isn’t an ATV park? :astonished:

Why would you say that?

you haven’t spent time in the San Joaquin valley near the oil fields have ya?

I said “parking lot”. If it’s got wheels, I don’t care. Just show me the money.

Actually it looks surprisingly like ATV trails in Eau Claire County Wisconsin, exact same color soil and lack of vegetation, throw a couple of dead dried up porkies amongst the rocks and it’d be like home. :cry:

not for parking

for slinging gravel & raising dust

Well, if you MUST. The planet’s roomy enough so far, and the ecology seems to be made mainly of rubble. I - a Midwesterner no less - have never quite gotten what the thrill is supposed to be in sports-buggy pastimes, but never mind because hey, guess what? You can’t stay perched like bobblehead dolls atop yer mechanical conveyance platforms and ride around in big circles forever. Sooner or later you must stop, and stop means park, and that means Nano pushes vehicle safety because he wants you all to survive so he can cash in.

spent yer whole life in a state of boredom, eh?

Minnesota is “The North Star State”, thenkyewveddymutch. And, no.
