Tough to know what you would base that on - if the facts are hidden, how do you know?ardian007 said:
Since the first part is so rediculous, this part is meaningless. But I think the public would accept without much controversy (except from the ultra-religious) a discovery of primitive microbial life on Mars (which still may happen).

Here is Hoagldand's website: http://www.enterprisemission.com/ Good luck!mapper said:

I could hardly keep my composure. I listen to Coast to Coast pretty regularly. I'm to the point now that I can identify his voice almost instantly when I turn on the radio, and yes it makes me cringe too.Ivan said:
I couldn't believe that Noory would push that. He really can't think that people believe this, can he? Are that many people even more gullable than I think, or is Noory just too dimwitted to know the difference?LOL! The way it has seemed to me is that George plays dumb a lot and caters to what his audience wants to hear. Art has the more masculine voice and so he plays it a bit more sceptical. George has that sappy boyish voice and so he plays to that. You can still catch him every now and again subtly poking fun of some of the people though.Ivan Seeking said:Were you on the edge of your seat waiting to see if Hoagland would head up NASA?
What's ironic is that if you the read bad astronomy website, the author concedes that Hoagldand did a thorough job of debunking the moon myth and he was even corrected by him. Strange isn't it.
Huh? Citation?Adam Y. said:
I'd like to know what you mean by "moon myth". If you mean that the moon landing was a hoax then Hoagland being involved in that wouldn't surprise me. I recently realized the close parallel between the way Hoagland uses virtually nothing but photographs as "proof" and the "moon hoax" people harp hendlessly on the "photographic evidence" and have little else to back themselves up with.Adam Y. said:
Yes, Hoagland is involved in the moon hoax hoax. That's discussed on BadAstronomy as well.TheStatutoryApe said:
The search for civilization on Mars is an ongoing and active area of research. While there is no conclusive evidence of past or present civilizations on the planet, there have been several missions and studies conducted to gather data and investigate the possibility.
The key factors that would determine the possibility of a civilization on Mars include the planet's geological and atmospheric conditions, the availability of resources such as water and energy, and the presence of any potential life forms. Other factors such as technological advancements and human exploration also play a role in the potential for a civilization to exist on Mars.
A civilization on Mars would likely differ from our civilization on Earth in several ways. The Martian environment and resources would necessitate unique adaptations and advancements in technology and infrastructure. Culture and societal norms may also differ due to the isolation and challenges of living on a different planet.
The discovery of a civilization on Mars could have numerous benefits for scientific and technological advancements. It could provide insights into the potential for life on other planets and inform our understanding of the evolution of civilizations. It could also open up opportunities for collaboration and exchange with an extraterrestrial society.
The existence of a civilization on Mars could have significant implications for the future of humanity. It could potentially provide a backup plan for the survival of our species in the event of a catastrophic event on Earth. It could also inspire and motivate further exploration and colonization efforts in our solar system and beyond.
