Water Under the Surface Of Mars

[Dryson]

To deny humanity and Earth the right to explore new water resources not only on Mars but any other planet in the Universe and move closer to those new sources of water is denying humanity the right to survive.

What if humanity's contact with those sources of water contaminates them and leads to the death of other species?
Is that not denying those species the right to survive?

Why are you supporting another species over the survival of the human species?

If there were in fact any species of life other than human and the rest of animal kingdom similar to that of Earth on any other planet in the Sol System independent astronomers would have that life on the planet. But since life similar to that on Earth has not been found anywhere else and that the only other life in the Sol System other than Earth based life would only be microbes then such life does not represent any sentient life that would be effected by humanities presence.

When humanity came into contact with new sources of water on Earth it is obvious that we discovered new species outside of the human species itself where our survival lead to the death of those species.

The argument is invalid regarding other life on planets that does not the ability to leave the planet and explore other planets and colonize them using innovation.

Nice straw man there. I didn't say that, did I?
Stop misrepresenting my posts, it's intellectually dishonest.

My point is that our species isn't inherently worth more than other species (if they exist). I'm not preferring other species, I'm saying they'd be of equal value and thus would have equal rights. We wouldn't have the right to kill them just because it suits our expansions drive.

That's your logical fallacy #1.

But since life similar to that on Earth has not been found anywhere else and that the only other life in the Sol System other than Earth based life would only be microbes then such life does not represent any sentient life that would be effected by humanities presence.

Nice job moving the goalposts there.
You specifically said "new water resources not only on Mars but any other planet in the Universe" in your previous posts so assuming you were talking about sentient life was perfectly reasonable.
Now all of a sudden you're only talking about our own solar system and only about microbes. What is it now?

That was logical fallacy #2.

The argument is invalid regarding other life on planets that does not the ability to leave the planet and explore other planets and colonize them using innovation.

Oh, look: You're moving the goalposts again. If I read your butchered sentence correctly (You might want to proof-read your posts for missing words once in a while. It seems to happen a lot.) you're suggesting that (even sentient) species that don't have the ability to leave their own planet don't deserve to live if it hinders our space exploration plans.
That's pretty fucking disgusting. Do you also think it was okay to kill the Native Americans and take their land just because unlike the Europeans they weren't able to build ships to cross oceans?

If I didn't manage to decipher the meaning of your butchered sentence correctly...

All things considered, I'd rate your post an F. Better luck next time.

Pluto found to have water ice on its surface.

Proves to me that water is far more prevalent on planets within the solar system.

More prevalent than what?

Why should we be surprised that water exists on "planets" we believe have been bombarded with icy comets for untold eons?

The article also proves to me that other Earth like planets do in fact exist.

Not surprising considering how credulous you seem and how ambiguous the phrase "Earth like" is.

It's okay. After someone has shot themselves in the foot enough times, sitting on the fence is all they've got left.

I still don't know what would be more interesting.

If life on mars has the same origins as teh life on earth, through some form of asteriod exchange.

Or that life crops up again and again across the galaxy.


I think alot of people without even thinking about it are very fixated on the idea that life is rare or it means ET.
