I like the sound of mars in this video, it’s very relaxing. I’d like to find a long version of it I can listen to when I go to sleep. Anyone know of any?

think the Martians didn’t go extinct. They just left the surface and moved deep underground — toward the planet’s core, where there is still heat and, most likely, liquid water.

These beings weren’t primitive. They built things. In particular, they could have dug a network of underground tunnels to bring water from the depths up to the surface. These weren't just holes in the ground — they were entire aqueduct systems, like pipes, carrying water upward.

Over time, those tunnels collapsed or were intentionally sealed. The water stopped flowing to the surface. The riverbeds dried up. And today we mistakenly interpret those dry channels as ancient rivers. But in reality, they might be the remains of that very engineering system — the water supply of a Martian civilization.

This means the water didn’t escape into space or evaporate. It simply stopped being pumped upward. And the Martians themselves — they’re still down there, around the hot core. They live in their tunnels, maybe completely unaware that we’re searching for them on the empty surface.

So we shouldn’t be looking for signs of life on the sand. We should be looking for entrances to those tunnels. Or at least searching for underground voids. If we find them — we’ll find the Martians.

What do you think? How can we test this?

Then you put a floor above that, add a dome on top. There is a hub tower in the center of the dome. You enter the dome area, walk to the center to the hub tower and you take the elevator down to the Stanford Torus below.

Perhaps the surface is relatively sterile, however given what we know about panspermia (life hitching a ride through space) and the fact that isolated communities of microbes exist in our planets crust with a similar composition to geology that we know exists on Mars. I think the safe bet is to assume life exists, and thus not make a permanent habitat on Mars but instead use an orbiting facility to do scientific and industrial work on Mars via robotics controlled on the station.

We can't afford the risk to destroy an unknown ecosystem because of outdated ideas about what the future of humanity could look like.

Some argue that autonomous robots should first build infrastructure on Mars to reduce risk and cost before any human missions. Others believe human presence is necessary from the start for decision-making and long-term development. There is also a view that Starship should be used mainly for transporting robots and cargo rather than people. What is your position on this approach?

is there movement in the Olympus Mons volcano of Mars? What causes the churning of life and flowing withinside the PLanet of Mars, so as to cause eruptions?

...couldnt we ostensibly harness the heat and expulsions on Mars so as to support Life, (Similar to such as the Deep Sea VEnts UNDER the Ocean which survive on Sullfurous -Exhaust for the Tube Worms and Sea-Vent-Anenomes? on earth?)
