There is water on Mars

[samspade]

Scientist have confirmed that their equipment has actually found water on Mars.


Just my opinion


The possibly of having the building blocks of life means that perhaps there is life there or if humans get there we can sustain a colony.

SPACE.com -- Water Ice on Mars Confirmed

NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has confirmed the existence of water ice on Mars.
Mission scientists celebrated the news after a sample of the ice was finally delivered to one of the lander's instruments. Phoenix's mission has also officially been extended for one month beyond its original mission, NASA announced today at a briefing at the University of Arizona at Tucson, where mission control is currently based.
"I'm very happy to announce that we've gotten an ice sample," said the University of Arizona's William Boynton, co-investigator for Phoenix's Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA), which heats up samples and analyzes the vapors they give off to determine their composition.
"We have water," Boynton added. "We've seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted."

That's a cool pic. Is it actually what Mars would look like if it were terraformed ?.

But I thought Democrats were all about not harming the environment? We wouldn't want to harm the prestine ecology of Mars.

Maybe we can send all the lib's over to Mars to increase the amount of biomatter there.

They'd make good fertilizer - I guess that's all they're good for!

Maybe 'Total Recall' was correct? Aliens left a reactor to produce an atmosphere from the glacier core?
Nah...

A week ago, I heard that they have discovered Snow on Mars. Apparently, it's similiar to the snow I saw while living in AZ. It snowed one winter in Phoenix just lightly. It didn't last very long. Scientists are saying that the snow dissipates before it hits the surface. Interesting finding.
