New Cave Entrances Seen on Mars 110
Riding with Robots writes "The Mars Odyssey orbiter has come across what look to be openings to cavernous spaces under the surface of Mars. NASA reports the find is fueling interest in potential underground habitats and sparking searches for caves elsewhere on the Red Planet. These latest images follow other recent discoveries of intriguing places to explore. From the article: 'The find has led some to wonder if these or other caves on the planet may provide shelter to life or former life on the Red Planet. "Somewhere on Mars, caves might provide a protected niche for past or current life, or shelter for humans in the future," said Tim Titus of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff. These caves, however, likely never hosted life due to the extreme altitude of their location. "Even if life has ever existed on Mars, it may not have migrated to this height," said Cushing.'"

Yeah BWJones, how can you be so unpatriotic? I am shocked and I think I am going to faint [time.com]. In fact, you must be a terrorist for not Supporting Our Troops and Our Great Leader Who Can Do No Wrong.
Sympathy, guy. I laughed.

Are we talking about the same Bush trying to pass a law exonerating [liveleak.com] himself from war crimes? That Bush? I think ALL of you Americans need to talk more about this bastard until he is impeached or imprisoned.
But because you Americans ARE PUSSIES, you aren't going to DO anything. I can't wait until they come for you, friend. Fortunately I live FAR away.

Who the hell cares if the news is "old"? It's INTERESTING, I haven't read it before, and quite frankly why are you bothering to post if it's such "old" news?
Besides, 5 months is only "old" if you're a teenager. So get off my damn lawn and stop posting pointless comments complaining about something you can easily just NOT CLICK ON IF IT DOES NOT INTERST YOU.
Fuck, Slashdot is full of whiners the past couple of years.
