Life found on mars

[shygirl4]

If life is found on Mars it could have originated from Earth, I found this artical, what do you guys think about this.

"Meteorites large enough to make a crater greater than 60 miles across will cause Earth rocks to escape Earth's gravity. Out of 1,000 such rocks ejected, 291 strike Venus, 20 go to Mercury, 17 hit Mars, 14 make it to Jupiter, and 1 goes all the way to Saturn. Traveling the distance with these rocks will be many varieties of Earth life.

Thus there are many reasons to believe that millions of Earth's minute creatures have been deposited on the surface of Mars and other solar system planets"

WoW, :-, cool, i never knew that. btw i need to talk with you...

Hmmm, i find it hard, if not impossible to believe that out of 1000 so many pieces actually hit anything... mars is so small, and space so large, i would say mars should be lucky if even one piece hitted it.

I don't know if there are earthern life forms that are capable of surviving in space, otherwise ofcourse that would be another reason why it should be impossible.

But if it's true what you copied there, it might be an interesting story.

whether they can survive in space is not the point.... nobody expects to find "alive" life on mars.. they are mainly looking for fossilized remains of past life... so the chunks of rocks from earth need only to make it to mars .... whether they live doesnt matter.

*NOTE- damn i just realized something.... these "tiny" chunks of rocks would either burn up in our atmosphere

They should to find Bin Laden  :P !

Serously, It's a great hope to colonize the Universe !

Well I believe its true as it came from a repatble website mainly concerned with time travel

*NOTE- damn i just realized something.... these "tiny" chunks of rocks would either burn up in our atmosphere  as it exits.... or it would burn up in Mar's atmosphere as it entered it.

Not true, there are small rocks and large ones which hit the earth every single day, they survive the atmosphere, also there are many rocks on earth which originate from mars, they ended up on earth by way of impacts on mars, much the same way as impacts which hit the earth thousands of years ago, carried rocks to mars.

Hmm, never felt any rock fall from the sky yet :)

This is as may be, but are the ejecta large enough in turn to get through Mars' atmosphere?

I heard that some methan was detected by that terran probe. Don't worry, shygirl. Just we have to make these guys silent and then report to hq let they cut that probe as they did with the british one...

[Egeides]

Well some people defend that Earth got the essential things to create life from meteorites. So I guess that these same people put their arguments on both sides.

I propose that we send tons of little rocks into space to colonize  ;)

[GUNWOUNDS]

Well the earth has many many meteorite showers every year.. but none of it is dangerous.. as the

What if the metoer was like bigger then the one on armagedon . And i have a question i's just wondering about , why doesn't the planets including earth pull into the sun ?

Like it just doesn't make sence to me , are they in like the perfect spot where its mass can't get sucked in??

[shygirl4]

The meteorites that do make it through our atmosphere to impact our crust are extremely large...

This is not true, tiny rocks are found on earth all the time, I have seen documentries on tv of people walking in australia on the deserts there picking up space rocks,of all sizes. dont forget the original post I made quoted a rock 60 miles accross , not a pebble

yes 60 miles is definately a large one  ;)

well i am not a physics expert so i cannot tell you why earth and the other planets are not in a decaying orbit around the sun  but perhaps someone here could

Maybe the suns gravitation is to weak to pull the earth all those millions of miles towards it, but I did see a program on tv about what stopped the moon being pulled towards earth, the moon has gravitational pull on the earth so much that it actually stretches the earth, and of course affects the tides by pulling the oceans towards itself, but the moon is actualy moving further away from earth every year, anyway the answer went somthing like this, the earth pulls the mooon towards earth, but the moon revolves around the earth causing centrefugal force which inturn pushes it away from earth, ( good thing really)

Well i'm no expert, but let's consider this, a centrifuge when spinning around throws things away. So the spinning around the sun actually draws us away from the sun, but i think that this is actually countered by the sun's gravity, and thus we stay in the same orbit. Were our planet closer to the sun, the gravity would be stronger and pull us in. But it sounds logical that if our planet would be closer, it would only orbit faster around the sun.

Example, if you grab a ball and turn around your own axis and you let loose the ball it will fly away, turn faster and the ball will have more shooting power and get farther. So I think that the planets in orbit have to do with these 2 factors, gravity and orbit speed (well perhaps mass too, i'm not sure of that realy)

Talking about little rocks, is it possible to catch a few in a large pot or something, before you go to bed, when theres a meteorshower?

I doubt it. Remember when Taco Bell had the ad if somehting hit a floating target in the Pacific Ocean they would give each American a free taco? It didn't happen.
