Plus, it has a very thin atmosphere, which means the planet can't retain heat. Many people mistake Mars for a hot place because of the barren, desert-like landscape. | ||

Can we point the Hubble in Mars to have a second person view of it? That's be awesome right? I hope someone from NASA reads this. And while where at it, let's also point to the moon where Neil Armstrong landed, to celebrate the death of a true American hero! | ||

As several posters have already pointed out, it's amazing to see how Earth-like this planet looks. Looking at this, and looking at the (probably) billions of stars out there with orbiting planets around them, I think it's fair to say that it's extremely naive to think there's not another Earth out there. We just have to look at our own neighbor to find something almost Earth-like! To be fair, it's only "Earth-like" in the sense that both Earth and Mars have rocks on them. Mars has enough of an atmosphere to carry dust and cause erosion, so Mars looks like many places on Earth where there's little life and erosion is the primary shaping force. | ||
