The main topic of the two websites I looked at appeared to be very interested in whether or not there is or was life on the planet Mars. I found an article on the the Enterprise Mission website that brought up a possible conspiracy theory about proof of previous life on Mars through fossils.
This article was written by Richard Hoagland, a well known name in the field of
Mars exploration. However it's safe to say that he isn't known for all the right reasons. Hoagland has made some bold claims in his time that he believes to be completely 100% true. He is the one who claims that the formation of the land on Mars that looks like a face is not a nature made product. Also he believes that there is a pyramid that was built by martians that will have amazing things and information inside. In this article he claims that we have discovered fossil like features on Mars, and in an attempt to cover up that there is life out there we destroyed them. He also disagrees about the color of the so called martian blueberries.
On the Mars Society website I found a large number of articles that all in some way related to Mars. It was interesting to me that at the top of the site they had the purpose of the Mars Society written out. I figured that its purpose was pretty self-explanitory. I looked at an article from USNews.com with Zubrin which was pretty interesting. In the article he exlpains why Mars is better for colonizing than the moom. He brings up an interesting comparison with when we first discovered America and Greenland. Although America was farther it had better resources to live than Greenland. Same with Mars, we have everything we need to create air and water on the red planet.
Overall I thought both of the sites were interesting and brought different ideas to the table. From the sounds of the people running these sites living on Mars is not a question of if, but rather when.
