Document Summary
Life in the solar system liquid water rules out most of the worlds in our solar system as possible homes for life. Looking for habitable life: one that seems to have all the necessities of life. Liquid water flowed on mars during its early history. Has abundant water ice on its surface and underground. Found material evidence lending strong support to the idea that mars once has lakes. Mission to mars or seasons on its surface. Life on mars information about changed that have occurred on mars. Mount sharp: appear to be sedimentary rock layers that could reveal detailed. Unlikely to find actual evidence of life, but possibly organic material. Plans for sending humans to mars are being considered. Contains a deep ocean beneath its icy crust. Internal heating is strong enough to power volcanic events. Might also have liquid water or colder ammonia-water mixture underground. Distance that"s great enough to allow water vapor to condense as rain and make.
