  1. Any life on Mars or Venus would be very, very likely to have a common origin with the life on Earth. It says nothing about how common life is in the universe. I think if we find life that we know doesn't share a common origin with Terran life, it'll be on Titan. Any water-based life in the solar system is probably related to us, and if it wasn't I doubt we'd be able to tell. In another star system, if there's life, then we can say with near certainty that it arose independently.

  2. Yay, rivers!

    sorry XD

    I think we already basically knew that the RSLs were water-based materials or made by water-based materials 'cause there's nothing else on Mars capable of making dark streaks on hills when it gets warm.

    Sir, do you see this steak? This steak is cooked to medium. I ordered my steak medium rare. Do you not know how to cook? How did you get them to hire you here? Medium rare. These green beans are undercooked. They feel like they're steel bars painted green. I can't even cut them. Not that I planned to. These mashed potatoes didn't come with parsley, or salt, or pepper. Where is my monocle? I have dropped my monocle. Do you see it? Why not? Give it to me. I'll sue the restaurant.

  4. KSP freezes while trying to load the title screen when I open it. I'm using a Mac with KSP 1.0.4. I put all the mods I have into the GameData folder after the zip files were opened. I was trying to install Better Atmospheres. My GameData folder looks like this:

    Better Atmospheres V5 Medium Res

    BoulderCo

    CustomAsteroids

    EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements

    Kerbaltek

    NASAmission

    PlanetaryEditingToolsUI

    Squad

    TextureReplacer-2.4.10

    Have I done something wrong?

    EDIT: The game works now, although it acts as though the only mods that work are HyperEdit and TextureReplacer.

  5. Ummm, I think it only gets above the triple point at the bottom of the Hellas basin.

    They may have already directly imaged briny water droplets that condensed on the legs of the phoenix lander.

    Phoenix wasn't in Hellas. Phoenix was in the arctic, in Green Valley. If the pressure wasn't high enough for water there, the ice that the droplets were supposedly from would have directly sublimed to gas. And then there wouldn't have been droplets. As long as the water temperature is within the melting and boiling temperature at that pressure, the water is stable AFAIK.

  6. I thought that pressure and temperature made liquid water straight out impossible on Mars...?

    The pressure is high enough over about half the planet. The temperature goes high enough over most of the planet. The main setback is that the temperature goes higher than the boiling point of water (never more than 10.04 Celsius at the absolute lowest altitudes on a good day) quite often.
