MY HERO W.H.O. FIXES SYSTEMS…AND REFERENT SCIENCE ON MARS 1.9.2023

Okay, so let’s presume life on Mars because ‘the science’ strongly suggests the existence of life on Mars. We used to identify ice by its composition reveals hydrogen and oxygen. But unlike any arrival on our third rock from the sun, you will need to adapt to life deep(?) underground, if indeed that is where most of the ice was discovered. Just like 2023 artificial intelligence clockwork, the following news on Forbes.com caught my attention because I love the iridescence of a polished opal:

“A research team using new methods to analyze data from NASA’s Curiosity, a rover operating on Mars since 2012, was able to independently verify that fracture halos contained opal, on Earth a gemstone formed by the alteration of silica by water.

The study finds that the vast subsurface fracture networks would have provided conditions that were potentially more habitable than those on the surface.

In 2012, NASA sent the Curiosity rover to Mars to explore Gale Crater, a large impact basin with a massive, layered mountain in the middle. As Curiosity has traversed along the Mars surface, researchers have discovered light-toned rocks surrounding fractures that criss-cross certain parts of the Martian landscape, sometimes extending out far into the horizon of rover imagery. Recent work finds that these widespread halo networks served as…
