Strange Findings On Mars

I realize that Mars is filled with nothing but maybes and couldbes but these three photos look promising. The first one shows what appears to be a glove or something of that nature. The second photo shows what looks like a small figure, or what have you, hiding behind a rock. The third shows a cross on top of a dome shape structure. What do you guys think?

I see a lot of rocks, but i am genuinely interested in that area above that looks like sand.

I believe a recent article was released stating the rover has found large quantities of silica or sand which is big time news.

looks like a rock to me...

Though I was interested in that dome I saw floating around the mars based forums....

Anyone know what came of that?

Lemmie guess... it was taken from somewhere in northern Canada eh?

Your first image isn't showing, and your second image looks like rocks and sand.

a reply to: Betelguese

I gave you a star and flag because I like rocks. This is even better because they are rocks on Mars.

I looks to me like just another Mars 'Rocktilian'.

Wow, such an amazing picture, I wish I could go for a walk right there. Touch the sand, breath the air, watch a Martian sunset.

breath the air

I wouldn't recommend trying it.

a reply to: Phage

Yea...


Breathing in CO2 wouldnt be a very fun thing for very long.

The atmosphere is mostly CO2 correct?

a reply to: OneGoal
Yes. CO2 is slightly toxic.
The real problem is that there is just about no O2. That, and there isn't really much of anything.

a reply to: Phage

Right on. Thanks Phage. Atmospheric composition is fascinating whether it be a rocky or gaseous planet!

Don't ruin my dream bro. Been watching the Expanse on syfy and loving it. They have the same dream on the show, if only they can bring Mars to life before Earth destroys everything. I think I could at least get one breath in before I die with the current pressure on Mars.

I'm watching and waiting. It has potential, but it could go terribly wrong. Very easily.

a reply to: BIGPoJo

Not sure if you'd even get that one breath in.

Average surface pressure is only 0.6 percent of Earth's.

If you suddenly stepped out on to the martian surface, I'd imagine Mars would take your breath from you. And worse....

Freeze dried, irradiated human!

Not sure if your eyeballs would bug out like Arnold's in Total Recall, but it wouldn't be pleasant to say the least!

How about if you stepped out slowly?

Seriously though. If you were to take a breath, exposed on the surface, you would first have to exhale. That would eliminate any problems involved with lung expansion due to reduced pressure. But those would be minimal any way, assuming you even start at 1 atm (14.7 psi), which you probably wouldn't. But if you stood there long enough you could very well end up with a serious embolism, as well as a possibility of the bends. It would be a toss up over which killed you first, the embolism or just plain hypoxia.
