Mars Water Wars!!

Is there water on Mars? Well, according to Curiosity...no. But, there is evidence that there used to be some water or ice there. Our team was tasked with making a video related to this blog for our class. We brainstormed for a while and came up with a great idea for our video...Mars Water Wars. This isn't just some run of the mill boring video here friends, this is a masterpiece!



Our video is loosely based on Star Wars, but we have thrown in some extra creative material related to Mars. It's mostly just silly and fun, but there is some science thrown in this video if you pay attention. According to Athena Hessong's article found here, river rocks are formed by flowing water and other rocks bouncing into them. Our video is about finding these "river rocks" on Mars and figuring out there is water there.

Cool River Rocks
Finding river rocks on a planet is a clear indication that there was a river once present in that area. So in our video, we talk about how drilling in locations where river rocks are found is how our evil friend found his water. After this is discovered, an epic battle ensues so we can get the water and save our ship. We hope you enjoy our video as much as we enjoyed making it.
