They found a reservoir of liquid water on Mars!
They suspect they could be everywhere.
Maybe a layer that’s half a mile deep.
This is huge!!!

Now they have to watch out for giant sandworms

Indeed!

Mars is inhabited entirely by robots!

Go away, clickbait

I didn’t say they actually found life on Mars but liquid water could be a sign it could exist…

It’s no place to raise your kids. In fact, it’s cold as hell.
actinginacave
Unless your kids are Tardigrades!

and there's no one there to raise them, if you did

If so, not anymore.
actinginacave
No? It’s so deep though. Why couldn’t there be some kind of life? It’s liquid water…

Water only acts as a vehicle. it has more to do with the chemicals present. The amounts they are present and their interactions

And that’s assuming life starts the same way as it did on earth.
actinginacave
I’m starting to think life might be everywhere. And maybe it took like 10 billion years to get going… otherwise, something isn’t right. Why does it seem like we are so alone. Just too much distance to tell yet? Or is “the great filter” coming..?

Tardigrades are very very tiny Calots, like Admiral Wolverine Lightningbolt.
actinginacave
Right? A tardigrade could survive in Mars water!

Mars does not have an atmosphere, so it is constantly blasted with radiation from the sun and space.
actinginacave
So being deep underground wouldn’t shield the water from high radiation levels? It doesn’t work that way, huh?

Mars also does not have a magnetosphere, which would help deflect solar winds.
