Mars More Toxic to Life Than Previously Thought - D-brief

blogs.discovermagazine.com

Ivan Kirkpatrick: My understanding is that because the chemical composition of the soil is high in perchlorates which are toxic, not much is going to grow in Martian soil without a lot of treatment. Also, any habitats for humans will need to be underground by at least a few feet if not more. The reason is the radiation intensity at the surface is destructive to cells and life processes. Make no mistake about it, the Martian environment at the surface is going to be very hostile to human life until the environment can be terraformed sufficiently.

Tyler Baxter: +DynaCatlovesme Actually, I'm a physics researcher, so unlike you, I have a semblance of understanding of what I'm talking about.

I'll take your childish "I know you are but what am I" response as a verification that you don't have any academic expertise in those fields as I expected.

Leave this kind of stuff to the big boys. We have work to be done, not mindlessly and inaccurately asserting things on the internet like yourself.

Tyler Baxter: +DynaCatlovesme Neither, thanks for the assault on my character though. It's one thing for me to think that you don't know what you're talking about, but to accuse me of lying? Another baseless assertion among the mountain on your back that you can't provide any evidence for.

This interaction has been a complete waste of time, but yet, illuminating, because now I'm aware of one more piece of refuse that belongs in the ignore bin. Farewell. Forever, I hope.

Nibbie NibiruMan: THATS A GALAXY IN PROGRESS

Michael Bramlett: A very speculative article.

Nibbie NibiruMan: I KNEW THERE WERE OTHER PLANETS OUT THERE BEFORE SCIENTIST BECAUSE THIS:
This Cosmos has been made in the image of that other Cosmos, and reproduces eternity in a copy. Now time, though it is ever in movement, possesses a faculty of stability peculiar to itself, in that its return into itself is determined by necessity.
