YES!!! we found WATER!! Thank GOD!!! I mean, we surely don't have enough of it here on earth, and that global warming is not helping as well, rising sea levels you know.. thats not good.. I hope Vitamin Water will start selling some MARS water soon, cant wait to put some of my money into that company who first decides to sell MARS WATER!! lol
Yeah - no kidding! I don't get why this is so important or news worthy - haven't we known for decades that there's water on Mars? What, with the polar ice caps and all? Ice is frozen water right? Am I missing something?
The polar ice caps on Mars are thought to be comprised of only dry ice (frozen C2O, not H2O).
But yah, We've had tons of headlines over the last decade about water on Mars. How many times are we going to discover it exactly? I guess technically all of those other times it was only "evidence of water", and not actual water. So this is the real deal. Still the long build-up has kind of made this anticlimactic.
Still the main thing is to find Liquid Water for life. Mars' atmospheric conditions are such that even water ice is 'dry', it passes almost immediately from solid to gas; which is why those white lumps in the scooper disappeared recently.
