BigBill said:I just had to look it up. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is less than 1% of Earth.
Mars does have an atmosphere consisting mostly of Carbon dioxide 96%, Nitrogen I think and Argon. But it has been leaking these gases or losing the atmosphere there for years and years and years.
So I was incorrect in saying that there was no atmosphere but just one that isn't too conducive to life as we know it. 96% Carbon dioxide does not sound too appealing.
Still am curious as to where the funding is going to come from?
