Why Mars Became a Lifeless Desert – Scientists Finally Have the Answer

Scientists have discovered the real reason Mars turned into a dry, barren desert, and it’s pretty shocking. A long time ago, the Red Planet had lakes, rivers, and maybe even oceans, but something caused all that water to disappear. It turns out Mars lost its protective magnetic field, which let solar winds strip away its atmosphere over millions of years. Without a thick atmosphere to trap heat and keep water from evaporating, the planet slowly dried up. Now, all that’s left are dusty plains, deep canyons, and frozen ice beneath the surface. But if we ever want to live there, scientists are working on ways to bring some of that lost water back!

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

THE answer?  I doubt it.
