Private industry will prove all this. That's the good side of it, eventually.
Right now Elon needs government sanction, bank accounts, and contracts. Give him 40 years of active space industry tho he'll have em by the gonads.
The reason he's getting into it is that the powers that be have already decided to slide the slippery sloap towards disclosure. They will resist a little but have already given up absolute control. Let it happen naturally and go "oh oops our shit was broken/low rez, we didn't take the second detailed LIDAR survey we should have ". That's why he's even allowed to play rocketman games at all. We've had plenty smart people doing the materials science publicly and paper drafts to brute force it for 50 yrs. They also don't want to pay for it with taxes so they want private industry to catch up and do the leg work.
The evidence is in on the organic cycle in Mars atmospherics. But it's been hushed low key and got muted hard, white papers from a big college scrubbed in ~~2010 when that kid who dumped jstor got suicide.
Modern Mars is essentially dead. But I bet some microbes or small plants or plankton cling to the ice sheets. Or any cyrovolcanic areas.
Need time to clean up off world expeditions already sent by the trillionaires and make it look all above board.
Hence the big plume on Mars and the flash on the moons pole.
Gg. Hope we live to see the fruits of our rediscovery of our kinds ancestry.
P.s. scarcity and climate change drove innovation. It happened earlier on Mars. Mars advanced fast while earth literally chilled for a bit.
The old tech was buried and hidden. In caches. And people like Alexander were the start of rebuilding technologies that gave us industry. Need to find a picture of the sphinx being a topper for a normal building somewhere.
