Yes Virginia, there really is water on Mars.

[ZenPirate]

Yup. There's a frozen 'lake' at the bottom of a huge crater located at the north pole of Mars.

This is actually a marketing ploy for Encino Man 2

How, is the real question.


Wait. Since when the human race is wondering if there is trace of water on mars?

Actually Kantham, I don't understand the point of your question at all.
water = possibility of life
Not only that but if there is a large enough mass of water the elements in it are valuable building blocks for anyone who is intending to go and stay there for a long period of time (colonisation). You can breath some (when flavoured with other elements) and turn it into propellent for instance. H2O istelf is also very useful to grow things with/in and generally have and all around good time life and survival wise.

This could be very big news indeed........

[Kantham]

it is not a question . At all.

Alot of person alreay know that mars had water.

Well, all I can say to that is... whatever. I'm excited.

[SomewhatSuicidal]

Nice picture. Google Mars anyone?

[Original9]

My question is: How did it get on the outside of the crater? And why is it blue? :O

[8-4-7-2]

Yes. But either at the poles or sub-surface
This is the first time surface water was found away from the poles :)

The Mars Express camera is incredible

[Bean316]

Stop talking about Mars and water or God will smite you for your heathen-y-nouss :mad:

THEY DON'T EXIST! THOSE ARE LIBERAL/MUSLIM/SCIENTIFIC LIES!!!

/har, I think this is exciting. Now if we can get shaped up and send someone to Mars, which I am not too optimistic about :(

[[IsP]KaRnAgE]

One step closer to TOTAL RECALL and triboobs.

I'm sure it will happen eventually. I'm just wondering if it will be in my lifetime; considering the shuttle and ISS etc...

I'd sign on for the long ride to Mars.......:)

Then why'd you use a question mark?...

[Kantham]

I make what i whrite sound like the way i would speak it.

Mars already had trace of water, alot of people knew that, some don't. There is nothing new for me. But still, this is interesing (the pics).

[Warm Pudgy]

are you sure thats water?
looks like a big pile of crack that the government hides there to me:p

hi everyone btw

[MrSmiles]

mars + water = aliens

[SomewhatSuicidal]

mars + water = aliens

Then we need to erect a border quick before they take our jobs and ruin upstanding neighborhoods with thier welfare families!:eek:
