Not that enough really care - Water based ice no confirmed on Mars.

June 19, 2008 -- Dice-size crumbs of bright material have vanished from inside a trench where they were photographed by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander four days ago, convincing scientists that the material was frozen water that vaporized after digging exposed it.

"It must be ice," said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson. "These little clumps completely disappearing over the course of a few days, that is perfect evidence that it's ice. There had been some question whether the bright material was salt. Salt can't do that."

Rest of story.


FUCKING TYPO'S Thread title - No = NOW.

what i dont understand.

if there is no water, I assume you couldn't successfully terra form? or sustain a mars based station? is that why we care so much?

was there a water system in Total Recall? thats the only thing i can even visualize about Mars.

Cool. Lets hope they get better hard data soon.

Liquid water is sufficient for any form of life, or at least for life as we know it. If there is water ice on Mars, then there's a good chance that liquid water is or was there too, which increases the chances that there was or maybe still is life on Mars.

And if theres life on two separate planets right next to each other there's a huge chance that there's live on many other planets too.

That's interesting..

Finally confirmed.... very cool now lets check for Martian bacteria



spaz

good cliff notes

This shit is amazingly interesting, such small steps but such huge ones.

Thats the main thing i fear about death is that i wont be around for the out of this world discoveries i feel mankind will make.

wiat a second, if this is not mentioned in the Koran, it cannot be true...

Give these people airrrrrrr :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Foreal...

Maybe I'm just a sceptic, but I don't see how that makes it 'confirmed'. Of course I have no other reasonable explanation for the white stuff, which is apparently now gone, but come on... this is fucking Mars we're talking about.
