Jon, <font color="yellow">"At least Pravada was often right, if slanted. Enterprise mission is not only slanted but wrong"</font><br /><br />And yet, what about when Richard Hoagland and the EnterpriseMission are so very often <i>right</i>? A single example would be TEM's prediction about where the underground water would be detected by subsequent NASA data missions.<br /><br />In 2001, Hoagland, Bara et al predicted :<br /><br /><i>"It is this GRS instrument which will furnish the first definitive test of the Mars tidal model presented in this paper.<br />One of the elements GRS will detect is hydrogen. Hydrogen makes up two thirds of every water molecule. Thus, Odyssey will map for the first time (to a depth of approximately one meter) the global distribution of hydrogen on Mars, from which a global distribution of all subsurface ice and/or liquid water will be inferred.[84]<br />The Mars tidal model specifically predicts, based on the currently observed bi-modal stain distribution in the MOC images, that Odyssey’s GRS will confirm a superimposed bi-modal distribution of subsurface hydrogen over Tharsis and Arabia on Mars. From this, a similar bi-modal distribution of ice and water on the planet will be inferred. Only the tidal model can properly account for this unexpected (to all other Mars models) expected global distribution"</i><br />
