I Beg to differ

nick hoffman — 4/21/2006 8:42:36 PM (archived)

Almost because of its enormity and dryness, even a few tiny puddles wouldn't survive long.

I admit that a tiny active seep would be effectively undetectable, but there is no history of middle-sized seeps over the last 3.5 billion years. Mars hasn't had active water systems for an awful long time, Chris.

Do you know what 3.5 billion years of drought does to a place?
