We’ve been there. For decades. You know that, right?
“A million to one.” They said…
But still they come
I got this. Well done.
Can you explain it please?
It’s from the war of the worlds musical, references elsewhere in this thread.
What are the chances that this question came from Uranus?
Said the astronomer from his observatory in Uruguay
One million to one
And still they come
Disco music intensifies
Million in one chances crop up nine times out of ten.
That doesn’t seem right but I don’t know the math to dispute it…
A wise decision. There are extensive proofs written by Prof. Ridcully D.Thau., D.M., D.S., D.Mn., D.G., D.D., D.C.L., D.M. Phil., D.M.S., D.C.M., D.W., B.El.L. of UU.
My tinfoil hat theory that is all in jest is that Mars was “First Earth” and it got real fucked up and anything that was there got wiped out and what we see now is all that’s left of it.
Lol … a probe or sample device gets picked up on Mars, sent back to earth carrying an exotic extra terrestrial virus that is indestructible. It infects our planet killing every biological organism on earth.
The Martians end up invading and conquering us … just not in the way we imagined.
Had me thinking about the Species movie at the start of your comment
I mean, anything? That’s got to be close enough to 100% to make no difference. Rocks in space hit planets, pieces break off at escape velocity, they become the space rocks that hit other planets. I doubt there’s a solid body in the inner solar system that doesn’t have at least a little bit of Mars on it.
A million to one of course.
edit: but still, they come!
0%
Zero.
Nothing cool, of course.
Even if an ice asteroid crashed and vaporized some semblance of an atmosphere onto the planet the solar wind would strip it off because there’s no magnetic field.
It’s a dead rock. Better to look to Jupiter’s moons than Mars.
I’m pretty sure we have quite a few meteorites that came from Mars.
As for Allen life coming under it’s own power from Mars, I’d put that extremely close to zero. More likely would be something from Europa or outside the solar system, but that’s still pretty unlikely.
I’d put the chances of Mars sample return going off in the next couple decades at about 70%.
