"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."

as I said earlier, I didn't see the before/after before the first comment.

I'm sorry, but the names they come up with for the trenches are amazing I mean dodo-Godilocks? How on earth do they come up with that?? I wish something on earth was named that.."hey guys, lets go to Dodo-Godilocks today!" Haha sorry, any way on a more serious note, This is really big, and exciting, Go America!!!! If anyone out there, is unfamiliar with the history of mars, I suggest you start to learn a bit more because only good things are going to come out of this, I suggest you look up the book called "After the Martian Apocalypse: Extraterrestrial Artifacts and the Case for Mars Exploration" Its great, you can find it on www.booksonboard.com

Carbon dating is not used to date the earth genious. Potassium Argon is used to date the Earth. Not carbon 12 or carbon 13 not any carbon.

"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."The chunks were left at the bottom of a trench informally called "Dodo-Goldilocks" when Phoenix's Robotic Arm enlarged that trench on June 15, during the 20th Martian day, or sol, since landing. Several were gone when Phoenix looked at the trench early today, on Sol 24.Also early today, digging in a different trench, the Robotic Arm connected with a hard surface that has scientists excited about the prospect of next uncovering an icy layer.The Phoenix science team spent Thursday analyzing new images and data successfully returned from the lander earlier in the day.Studying the initial findings from the new "Snow White 2" trench, located to the right of "Snow White 1," Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, co-investigator for the robotic arm, said, "We have dug a trench and uncovered a hard layer at the same depth as the ice layer in our other trench."On Sol 24, Phoenix extended the first trench in the middle of a polygon at the "Wonderland" site. While digging, the Robotic Arm came upon a firm layer, and after three attempts to dig further, the arm went into a holding position. Such an action is expected when the Robotic Arm comes upon a hard surface.Meanwhile, the spacecraft team at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver is preparing a software patch to send to Phoenix in a few days so scientific data can again be saved onboard overnight when needed. Because of a large amount a duplicative file-maintenance data generated by the spacecraft Tuesday, the team is taking the precaution of not storing science data in Phoenix's flash memory, and instead downlinking it at the end of every day, until the conditions that produced those duplicative data files are corrected."We now understand what happened, and we can fix it with a software patch," said Phoenix Project Manager Barry Goldstein of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena. "Our three-month schedule has 30 days of margin for contingencies like this, and we have used only one contingency day out of 24 sols. The mission is well ahead of schedule. We are making excellent progress toward full mission success."<a class="user" href="http://www.lipoaspiracao.org/lipo/">http://www.lipoaspiracao.org/lipo/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.lipobeverlyhills.com">http://www.lipobeverlyhills.com</a>

Why go all the way to mars to find ICE. Just come to the Caribbean and relax and while there find an easy job on <a class="user" href="http://www.caribbeanjobsonline.com">http://www.caribbeanjobsonline.com</a>
