    The landing shocked my heart. I mean real video of landing? Just amazing.

    I think we ought to be looking for intelligent life on Earth before we start looking elsewhere don’t you?

    This is a nice documentary, it already was three years ago, when you started airing it. It's been a long time since Perseverance is on Mars, any new documentary in the making?

    ... if we are looking for life on / around the other celestial bodies, we should be looking also to create one that we are interested about and that can thrive in their local conditions. It would be also a clever-wise part of the (same) plan, as we go. Just for our vote, on the subject, for where it counts or matters :).

    Human ingenuity may be the last bastion of hope for a dying planet --our own!
  • Here's my take. When you take a very good look of the Martian topography, for those who understand geography & geology, you can't deny there was intelligent life. That intelligent life could have over exploited the resources & there was probably a nuclear war that stripped Mars off it's atmosphere. The little remainig inteligent life made it's journey to Earth. We are doing it all over again, the cycle continues.

    I'm glad all the nards from my high school found meaningful jobs, and get excited by cobbles on another planet. If we were all the same nobody would be different. And nothing new would ever be discovered.

    Life in some form was discovered by the late Gil Devin and team in 1976. Sadly he will never get the Nobel.

    To state categorically that anything, anything at all, will never happen, is a tremendous risk. So good luck with that!
