It won't help at all, my dear Sir ! Those poor sods down here, the Gogologists, still beuuuulieve in Glaaaaaaciations, in Orogenesis in Solid Phase, Coal and Oil generated from Fossils etc Therefore there is not headway to be expected on the understanding of what is happening, has happened and will happen on Mars ! ( which is in fact the eldest sister of our dear Earth ... and of course of Venus and Mercury which will replace our planet in turn once we will have reached Mars orbit ) The problem you are facing as well as the other Gogos & Suckers masquerading now as Geologists, is the one of Circular References leading to iteration of reasoning at nausea ... with intellectual cul-de-sac as only option ... with the consecutive piling of more ludicrous Theories one upon the others to avoid losing face ! Now Sir, the solution is elsewhere with : 1) The developpement of appropriate crafts allowing people of this Earth to reach Mars in say 5 hours ... and Proxima Centuri in a max. time lapse of say 24 hours ! .... Thanks to the understanding of the UPL or Universal Pressure Law which I have the honour to have conceived and defined ! ( The corner stone indeed of the True Geology ) 2) To bring forcefully all the hundred of thousands imbeciles, masquerading indeed as Geologists at the present time, back to school to learn the basis of Solid applied Physics; Fluid Engineering; Process & Industrial Engineering, a bit of Math of which they know nothing, a bit of Mining & Fitting to give them back some common sense ... AND THEN put the Bastards to the test : That test being the writing in no less than a hundred pages, of whole & complete Machining Processus of a single Rounded Pebble attributed to Glaaaaaaaaciatons by the present Lunatic Gogology Sci000nce ... and of which we find trillions upon trillions of samples all over the Earth !!! Those who get a pass, will be allowed THEN to open their big clap-trap and discuss matter pertaining to the Sacred Science of True Geology ! In the mean time, I wish those Bastards could just shut up and go on a ranting elsewhere ... indeed this ng is supposed to discuss Geology and neither ludicrous Creationist Creeds ( such as the Big Bang ) & Sectarian Beuuuuliefs ( such as the Continental Rafting and the genesis of the immense Carbonates sedimentations from Fossils Bones ... as well as other schizophrenic follies ! ) ( Nom de Dieu, mais c'est pas possible ! ) Thank you for your attention -- Sir Jean-Paul Turcaud Australian Mining Pioneer Hydro & Mining Prospector _ Senior Geologist Discoverer & Legal Owner of Telfer; Kintyre & Nifty Mines The Great Sandy Desert.of Australia Discoverer of the South Atlantic Submarine Gold Placers ( 40 Millions Tons estimate ) Founder of the TRUE GEOLOGY ~~Ignorance Is The Cosmic Sin, The One Never Forgiven ! ~~ "Ron" <baalke@earthlink.net> a οΏ½crit dans le message de news:d5786437.0402221804.150cf9f8@posting.google.com... > http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html > > SPIRIT UPDATE: Trench Exam Continues - sol 49, Feb 22, 2004 > > Spirit continued its inspection of the trench dubbed "Road Cut" during > the rover's 49th sol, ending at 1:56 p.m. Sunday, PST.
