You dont think the spherules are from impacts and refreeze in the 'air'?
That was the ONLY way I could envision such spherical shapes forming... mineral precipitation, (and ya I am hardly an expert), in my opinion wouldnt lead to so many nearly perfect spheres...
I personally think there is some good evidence for subsurface water in some form... but the 'mud' and green fields seen by some are rediculous...
BTW your early speculation on the burst airbag seems to have support... the bit of fabric seen near the lander and the "hair" seen in the microscopic imager... however the chances the microscopic imager happened to see a fiber from the airbag seem very slim to me... do u think the 'fiber' could have minerological origin? (i dont see how) maybe the rover engineers are balding? lol
As for Robert Clark- I am willing (hell I would LOVE it to be true) to accept a soggy mars idea, my problem with him is he clearly has no idea what he is talking about...
One last thing... as I was coming down the mountain yesterday, I couldnt help but notice how mars like it seemed. I also noticed that MANY places would be impossible for a rover to travel on... Is mars more 'rover friendly' or did the people selecting the sites just do a damn good job?
