Mars’ Ionosphere: Cold, Lifeless, and Filled With Heavy Metals

An artist's render of the MAVEN mission, upon arrival at Mars.NASA

Mars is Earth’s inhospitable cousin. And like anybody with a wayward family member, Earthlings can’t help trying to figure out what went wrong. So people throw a lot of money at the red planet, usually in the form of spacecraft. NASA’s Maven mission explores Mars’ upper atmosphere, puzzling over how a planet that was once wet and potentially habitable ended up a dry, cold desert world.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Finland definitely does heavy metal but at the far end of the scale. I think I'll stick with Anglo Metal.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
