| #8 I think you're all in for more of a surprise than that. Mars *currently* has liquid water, right below the surface. It's mixed with high amounts of salt which causes it to resists freezing until it's "expressed" and hits the direct surface. This was first hinted at when the rovers turned their camera around and your could see what looked like mud in the wake. It's a big deal as it means water is probably freely available all over the planet just inches below the surface. Could mean life as well. |

| #7 I'd love it to be the skeletal remains of a completely alien life form but right now I'd settle for evidence of water. As the Islamofasicts explore the tenth century we explore the universe |
