We had a mission for this exact area of study. MAVEN. The science proves Elon wrong here, but he’s too <redacted> to understand it.
he's really so stupid and I can't stand it. if you warmed up mars and melted the water, the water would evaporate into space. Mars can't have a habitable atmosphere in its current state bc it has no magnetic field. solar winds strip away everything that isn't stuck to the surface.

Amazing time for comics. DC’s All-In & Absolute Universe. Marvel’s Ultimate Universe & One World Under Doom. I could go on & on.
My FAVORITE comic atm? @cullenbunn.bsky.social‘s “The Hexiles!” The only problem I have w/ this title is that it’s NOT ongoing! More of THIS, PLEASE, @madcavestudios.com!

A crescent Triton (left), moon of Neptune, from Voyager 2 in 1989, and a crescent Pluto from New Horizons in 2015. This illustrates just how much rougher the surface of Pluto is than the melted-down Triton.

When Voyager 2's scan platform jammed during its 1981 flyby of Saturn, many image sequences missed, including a high resolution mosaic of one of its moons, Tethys. On this one, it did at least clip one corner of its battered target.

The battered surface of Callisto, moon of Jupiter, as Voyager 2 flew by in 1979. She sharper appearance of the crater rims in the upper right is real, though I have no idea what the different appearance signifies.

Iapetus, moon of Saturn, from Voyager 2 in 1981. The terminator (day/night boundary) is on the right. The dark area on the left and extending to the bottom of the disk is just not very reflective.

Perseverance has been sending back some gorgeous new views of Mars... I love this view. Look at the hills on the faraway horizon... As the song says, she can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles... ;-)

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.
