Water On Mars?
Wednesday, December 06, 2006
Its been a great week for space aficionados like me, first it was the announcement of a moon base now we have water on Mars. If this is indeed true, the idea of manned space trips to Mars is one step closer to reality. Yeah there are some logistics that need to be figured out but if we can get people to Mars in my lifetime then warp speed is just around the corner.

"These fresh deposits suggest that at some places and times on present-day Mars, liquid water is emerging from beneath the ground and briefly flowing down the slopes. This possibility raises questions about how the water would stay melted below ground, how widespread it might be, and whether there's a below-ground wet habitat conducive to life. Future missions may provide the answers," said Malin.
