Mars hates probes

Mars hates probes

The carbon dioxide pocket can do that thing, but there are many things, what we must solve before we can even think to travel to that planet by using manned spacecraft. One of the worst nightmares, that the spacecraft can meet is the carbon dioxide pocket, which would erupt if the temperature is near the boiling of the carbon dioxide. And in that case, the hole, what is left behind could be very big, and the craft can fall. 

There is a possibility that the caked sand has been stored carbon dioxide in its structure, and when the mechanic stress would impact that sand, it would cause the situation, that the gas would erupt, and the pressure would push the probe away. But there is maybe one thing, what might cause this effect. 

The place, where the InSight lander is located in the Martian Elysium Planitia, and that area locates in the ancient volcanic area, and maybe there is some kind of volcanic heat remain in that area. And if that place were the last places on the red planet where was volcanic activity, would cause that the structure of sand would be different than other places on that planet. 

If we would find the living organisms on the red planet, we must realize that those organisms can be in passive form. They could turn to hibernation when Mars started to cold. Or all of those organisms died, when the red planet lost its entire lithosphere, in the cosmic collision. That means that the famous "fossils of bacteria" would be bacteria, what were remain in some deepest holes in the ancient sea. 

And when the red planet lost its lithosphere, those bacteria destroyed. Or maybe primitive lifeforms could be formed in a short period after the catastrophe. That means that there could be some kind of lifeforms, what is living in the crystals of the sand, and use the water, which is stored in crystals. 

Sometimes those fossils are claimed only the error. The thing is that the structure of those strange things is looking like cyanobacteria, which are one of the most primitive organisms on Earth. And there is claiming that those fossils on the surface of Antarctean meteorite have come from the ice because the heat of meteorite would call those bacteria to its surface. 

And there is also theory, what explains the observations of the bacteria-like fossils, what have seen on the red planet. If those fossils are real, they could come from Earth, because of the giant meteorites that hit to planet Earth before the age of dinosaurs would throw the small bites of ice to Mars, but this is only theory.
