[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2571462, member: 33416"] Life on Mars, Europa, Titan etc. isn't possible. I think it's wonderful that Mars has 70F summers and water locked up under the ground. But it has no Van Allen Belt, neither do the large moons of Jupiter or Saturn. Those places are radioactive wastes, swept by unrelenting solar wind. A burp or interruption in the Earth's magnetic field could allow several seconds of unimpeded solar wind to sweep the part of the planet receiving the bow shock of solar radiation. The radiation sickness would exceed that of Hiroshima survivors on a larger scale. [/QUOTE]
