Upvoted. :)

Sci-Fi utilizes so many mediums, it would be remiss to miss out on them. Especially with such modern greats like Banks, Gibson, & Stross operating just outside the realms occupied by The Classics.

New Cave Entrances Seen on Mars 110

Posted by Zonk on Friday September 21, 2007 @09:31PM from the oh-good-lord-what-is-that-arrgh dept.

Riding with Robots writes "The Mars Odyssey orbiter has come across what look to be openings to cavernous spaces under the surface of Mars. NASA reports the find is fueling interest in potential underground habitats and sparking searches for caves elsewhere on the Red Planet. These latest images follow other recent discoveries of intriguing places to explore. From the article: 'The find has led some to wonder if these or other caves on the planet may provide shelter to life or former life on the Red Planet. "Somewhere on Mars, caves might provide a protected niche for past or current life, or shelter for humans in the future," said Tim Titus of the U.S. Geological Survey in Flagstaff. These caves, however, likely never hosted life due to the extreme altitude of their location. "Even if life has ever existed on Mars, it may not have migrated to this height," said Cushing.'"
