What can ensure that an American lands on Mars within 10 years?

hackr - So you seem have a problem analysing cause, effects and side effects. Are you saying that life is abundant where it is cold enough to produce galaciers but insufficient precipitation to cause them?
I said: "Where glaciers exist life is nearly eliminated." Ok, where does a glacier exist? Where does anything exist? Where it is located. I hate make such a preposterously obvious statement but you do not seem to understand my simple statement. At the location of the glacier, the place where the glacier exists, nearly all life is eliminated. Almost nothing lives under, in, or on top of a glacier. A glacier is almost devoid of life. I said: "When glaciers melt life springs forth in abundance on the once barren land." So, when a glacier melts it is said to retreat, or shrink. Land previously covered by life killing ice is then exposed. Once land is exposed life inevitably moves in. For example, during the Ice Age much of North America was covered in ice. That ice killed everything in its path. As the ice advanced all vegetation and wildlife in its path that could not move was killed. When the Earth warmed and the deadly ice retreated the land was exposed again at which time life moved back in and we now have lush ecosystems growing on the glacier carved landscapes of North America. So, I don't know what the folks here have invested in glaciers as these wonderful and supposedly "essential" features. I have been on a glacier. They are indeed beautiful. They are also dangerous and devoid of any apparent life.
The point is in all that blather you don't mention "cold"or "temperature" as though the glacier is the cause rather than the result. So where is there abundant life when there is cold but not water to make a glacier? That is the "cause" and "effect" I was talking about. psik

cc - Just so we know what you’re going on about
Was there some new content in the repost?
I wanted it on this page, okay? I notice you ignore http://www.centerforinquiry.net/forums/viewthread/18673/ which is devoted to trying to share a sampling of why glaciers are critically important to modern human society. But, you probably aren't interesting with anything that conflicts with your one-dimensional appreciation for our planet and the processes that have made our society possible in the first place.

NASA`s Mars Mission and WHY we can NOT go to MARS

WOW! Somebody that says going to Mars is ridiculous and robots on the Moon make sense.

I haven't looked at that. But you see, we do agree on somethings. ;-P Thinking humans are going to Mars is silly beyond reality. Spending all that fortune and brain power and effort into the pipe-dream] while ignoring what's happening to our own life support system here on Earth is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

Finding a way to put humans on Mars would be a worthwhile venture if we could send Trump and his henchmen and women there. One way tickets, of course.
