Mars rivers flowed more recent than thought

This is great news! Thanks thefinalfrontier

That was an interesting article and what a thought! Thanks...

What was that image they took of mars a few years back where there seemed to be "a water fall" here this http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/images/pia09027.html

we don't call something that happen million years ago as recently

we don't call something that happen million years ago as recently In who's terms ? A million years really isn't that long ago when you think about it I would love to pull off a canoe trip through those canyons what ? it would be fun .....

we don't call something that happen million years ago as recently In geological time we certianly do call a million years recently, A million years is simply a blink of times eye,

In geological time we certianly do call a million years recently, A million years is simply a blink of times eye, exactly. if you fitted the whole life of earth so far (4 billion years) in 24 hours. the reign of humans (100 000 years) would only be a few minutes, or seconds. i cant remember which. which is a short amount of time anyway.

I've never been surprised about that. Mars has ice on it already and that means water. Humanity likes to have the conceit that earth is the only thing to ever have had life, but really, we're not that special. Hopefully by the time our sun begins its decay, we'll have migrated to another planet. Then we'll be looking at a dried out earth saying, "it used to have rivers and oceans all over it." As much as I'd love to live on another world, a part of me would miss earth as home.

There's so much interesting things we keep discovering about Mars. Look at it this way, there are still lots of places on Earth yet to be discovered and imagine, Mars, as we don't live there it would take years/centuries of finding new info about the world.
