Hello =)
Well, generally speaking, it's too cold for our instrumentation on the martian poles. Our electronics would freeze up, and the hydraulic fluid would turn to sludge. Batteries would be unable to hold a charge, and motor lubricants would become much too thick.
I'm sure they're working on it, however.
Namaste,

I imagine the supposed ice is underneath the surface and unreachable.
While researching for a writing project, I picked up a science textbook from the 1930's talking about how there was probably life on the sun.
Ain't science amusing?

They did but it never landed safely. There's another on the way in a few years.

I don't understand why glassnegman got 2 thumbs down. That makes sense to me.
WHo knows something that the rest of us don't? Please explain
