Everything you have been taught about Mars is wrong. The terrible truth: Mars was actually Earthlike for most of its geologic history. Mars held a massive and evolving biosphere. Mars was the wracked by a mysterious and astonishing nuclear catastrophe. We are, biologically and culturally, the Children of Mars.
Life and Death on Mars: The New Mars Synthesis -going boldly where no human has gone before Plasma physicist John Brandenburg argued that Mars may have been the victim of a massive nuclear explosion, possibly during warfare. The pattern of nuclear isotopes from Mars’ atmosphere, particularly xenon, is similar to the pattern seen as the result of nuclear testing on Earth, he noted.
In the distant past, Mars appeared to be a life-supporting planet with an ocean, and a greenhouse effect that kept temperatures warm– it’s red in color because it once had an oxygen-rich atmosphere, he remarked. Brandenburg estimates that Mars’ catastrophic event happened around 500 million years ago, and this might have coincided with the Cambrian explosion on Earth. The rapid appearance of life forms on our planet could have been kick started by debris and fragments falling from Mars, he postulated.
I wonder what the population of Mars is today, probably higher than been reported
