Today's Q

[ceagle]

Alrighty, cats n kittens! Here's a ponderance ya might find fun to deduce... :>

We know that there's the periodic table of elements, and on that table the first two lightest ones Hydrogen and Helium are too light to stay upon the earth if released from a container or compound. On a recent science show, they stated that we would lose virtually all of the Earth's hydrogen at this rate in about 1.2 billion years.

On Mars, the gravity is only 38% of Earth's, so... which elements would fall into the category of being too light to remain on Mars? :D

Not to worry because bajillions of tons of hydrogen is stored in water and hydrocarbon compounds all around us. Helium on earth comes from nuclear fission and most is trapped deep underground.

ooo! I won't worry for Earth then, but I guesh we just gotta git a big syringe and see if we can inject all the missin' stuff back into Mars!
