Mercury holds billions of tonnes of water
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-20553879

There they go again with this 'water business'.

I'm pretty sure all the fishes are happy to find a new home...

it's not habitable for fishes on mars.

The Starmaker

But some of those fishes might not like that cold weather..

Let me get you guys straight..you don't know what the 'building blocks of life' are...

Do I need to write another book?

You first need a tree.

Wait a minute here! What are "tonnes"????

It's has no atmosphere,and its surface temp.facing the Sun is 800 F
for 29 days. Can that be added in? Mafia NASA has water on the
brain. Can steam float all by itself,or get lost in space? TeBert

I think a ton is 2240 pounds (twenty hundredweight of 112 pounds). A
short ton the American one, 2000 pounds. A tonne the metric version,
1000 kilos, 2200 pounds, but I will stand corrected.

The British Lancaster bomber of WWII carried a smaller payload
than the American B-17, in tons, and a bigger payload in pounds.
Imperial gallons are larger than US gallons too.

Imperial pints, too - 20 rather than 16 Fluid Oz, so an Imperial gallon's
one-and-a-quarter US gallons.

When I went to one of the micro-breweries in Noo Yoik I felt I'd been
short-changed.... Not nearly as disappointed as when I tried the American
mega-brewery "Budweiser" though, being used to Budweiser Budvar!

Old Peculier served by the micros as a "guest beer" in 1/4 pints, "because
it's too strong"...

I wonder if they'd serve Bishop's Tipple in shot glasses?

I wonder if Pluto has any water....or ice at the north pole? Most girls I know don't even like to
drink...icewater.

What these people don't tell you is that...every rock in space contains a North pole. A pebble, a grain of
sand...has a north pole. Sof, if they find a ..drop of water..on a pebble, in space..it has the..
BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE.

Who is the biggest con artist in the 'scientific community'? What's his name? Who is Mr. Big?

The Starmaker

It used to be Einstein. He conned the government to give him billions of dollars for
his 'scientific experiment'...the atomic bomb, by lying to the government that the Germans
were building an atomic bomb.

Who is Mr. Big today? Who is the biggest guy conning the government today?

It's tons, not tonnes...learn english. I'm surprised they speled vater right.

Did you know, did you know Albert Einstein, before he built his bomb was a airplane designer for the Germans? He's a killer.

I would have to say, Mr. Big is this guy...

I mean, come on already! You guys really 'buy this stuff'?

"'We Can Rebuild The Martians' In Earth Lab"

We already have My Favorite Martion on TV.

"Rebuild"? (i wonder what that means)

What is a "biological teleporter"? I don't read science fiction books, so...IDON"TKNOW what a "biological teleporter" is!!!

I guess, if you going to be a mr. big con, you have to use big con words.

If you like. You can also add in the fact that because of cratering,
some parts of the pole are in constant shadow, and the temperature
there, give the absence of an atmosphere, is very low.
