Water Found on Mars
| Quote From Source: | Scientists said today they have "found proof" of water ice on Mars away from the polar ice caps, a discovery made by NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander.
The finding is a crucial first step toward learning whether the ground on Mars is hospitable, because all life as we know it requires water. Now scientists can get on with the business of studying the chemistry of Mars dirt in more detail.
Although the ice finding was expected, until Phoenix actually found it, many scientists were still holding their breath.

i would love to see them melt all that ice, pollute with some ozone, grow some trees with the water and have people live there. |
