By time we make this planet ours
Mars was blue before it was cool.
Our closest planet lost water while we gained it… Interesting.
Maybe we’re all actually descended from Martians, and it turns out as we burned Mars all the billionaires ran off to make a self sustaining colony on a volcanic rock called Earth
is it possible by any chance that there were once civilizations in Mars but there’s no evidence of it because of how long ago it was?
So in a few billion years will we need to change our mailing addresses to Venus?
Humans came from mars and colonized earth after using mars’ third moon to kill the dinosaurs
Life was probably on Mars as well. Findings sugest there waa life on Mars in the form of microbes. There are no signs for intelligent life found on Mars.

NASA does cool shit.
Imagine if the Defense budget went to science, infrastructure, education, and healthcare.
They should Crack open some of those rocks and do more searching for fossils.
I wonder if in the future, aliens will do a fly by of the solar system, and say “Once that 3rd planet had an ocean.”
On Earth life was already there for about a billion years three billion years ago.
I’m wondering if there still is life down in the deep groundwater beneath the surface of Mars. Not that we would ever be able to find it there with rovers merely scratching at the surface.
We have known this for a long time.
This has always interested me; that we uncover more and more information about Mars.
I sometimes imagine that what if advanced life once existed there and, slim chance, what if there were a civilization? What if it is just burried so deep down from the harsh environment on the planet…
All though, based on what we know and speculate; Mars never really had a strong atmosphere and it lost it’s magnetic field fairly early on.
Most likely, no life as we imagine it ever evolved due to these conditions, but I’m lowkey hoping that maybe one day we’ll find something.
In the ancient texts – Marduk reported from mars base “with the passing of nibiru the martian atmosphere was devastated. All it’s water evaporated. It is now a place of dust storms.”
3 billion years ago Earth only had very simple organizms. It seems reasonable to guess that Mars had something similar at the same time given both planets formed at the same time same time.
