There are so many reasons why Mars could never have had water it makes NASA look like a genius magician to have duped the whole world into believing it was possible.
Why shouldn’t they? That’s the only reason why NASA gets funding.
Tens of thousands of scientists depend on NASA for research grants and comfy teaching jobs at politically correct liberal universities. Lately their only job has been to hoodwink people into thinking Mars once had vast oceans of free flowing water. NOT!
They point to the polar ice caps on Mars. Naturally, we assume that ice caps came from water in oceans like happens here on Earth. We ASSUME the water in the ice came from Mars.
In truth, even the water on Earth came from comets. Every last drop of it. That’s where the ice on Mars came from, too.
The temperature on Mars rarely dips above 32F, freezing. When it does it’s only for a couple of hours, and the ground temperature never rises above freezing, not ever. Just like here on Earth, ice and snow remain on the ground in winter even at 35F if the ground is well below freezing.
Even if the temperature did remain above freezing for long enough to thaw out the ground, free standing water doesn’t have a chance. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is so low (600 pascals versus 100,000 pascals on Earth) that ice doesn’t even melt into water. It sublimates directly into water vapor (which freezes the instant it forms).
Sure, there are seasonal changes and “weather” on Mars. If you can call dust storms or ice cloud formations that happen at exactly the same place and at exactly the same time every year “weather.” They’re all purely a function of the thermal dynamics of a dead planet heated irregularly in its elliptical orbit around the sun.
Dead planet is the operative word here. Malicious scientists.
Gullible public.
