Scientists analyzing two soil samples their Phoenix spacecraft dug from the surface of Mars announced they have discovered what may be the highly oxidizing chemical called perchlorate, a common component of rocket fuels, explosives and some medicines, they reported Monday.

Well how could there be a colonization of mars when it has NO atmosphere?
What would we breath?
Im sure if they looked harder, on the moon they would probably find some perchlorate.
Because its very common.
Of course thats if they even really went to the moon.

I guess they didn't have the technology to analyze soil samples from the moon.
Or they just didn't get a sample that contained perchlorate.
Im thinking they found MORE than just perchlorate on mars, and of course, again, are just lying through there masonic teeth.
