many of the debunkers, closer examination of them and their methods reveals who are and that they themselves should be debunked. pH (potential for Hydrogen): ( chemistry ) p(otential of) H(ydrogen); the logarithm of the reciprocal of hydrogen-ion concentration in gram atoms per liter; provides a measure

to use a water-Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) mixture—which could be well suited to Mars' harsh climate. Extremeophiles here on Earth have adapted to use Hydrogen peroxide—one organism, Acetobacter peroxidans, for instance, uses it as part of its metabolism. Schulze-Makuch and Houtkooper argued that if H2O2 b

here they are used, such materials have to withstand high temperatures, aggressive chemicals and significant mechanical strain. Hydrogen peroxide Hydrogen is one of the cleanest and most versatile chemicals. Because of its positive properties it is used in a wide range of applications. Traditionally,
