Here’s an interesting article about past water on Mars.

And, yes, Grignak! He was a hero…

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:09:55 +0000 http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=36571#comment-1469879 The article NEVER uses the word "water". Which is rather conspicuous in its absence. As if they don't want to connect the lack of evidence of fluid water, to this theory of wind erosion, on Mars. We might possibly drawl the undesired conclusion, that there hasn't been any large qualities of water on Mars. And all the "flow" formations may simply be the results of these unknown erosion effects. Clearly geo-science doesn't know it all. And is still learning. And yet they've jump to the conclusion that oceans must have existed on Mars, for them to see certain erosion effects. And the possible presence of water is naturally important to support the idea that life had existed on Mars once (if not currently). So while the blowing sands of Mars can apparently account for much of what they're seeing in photos. They still haven't given up on all that water having been present. Water which magically disappeared, much the same way as the "Biblical Flood" waters, these scientists would scoff at. But it's perfectly acceptable for them to "believe" in a mythical flood of water, on Mars. Even with little or no evidence of its existence, now. And what little exists is apparently explainable as wind effects (as I always suspected). The article NEVER uses the word “water”. Which is rather conspicuous in its absence.

Doesn't the rock keep getting lower and lower each time it falls into the depression, eventually coming out of the other side of Mars? Huh?
