- louiebaur, on 11/24/2008, -3/+15What created this unusual terrain on Mars? The floors of several mid-latitude craters in Hellas Basin on Mars appear unusually grooved, flat, and shallow.
- divinediva, on 11/24/2008, -1/+12The easiest way to settle this would be to drill. Even microbial life on Mars would be an amazing find.
- jboitnott, on 11/24/2008, -1/+10As the weeks and months pass by - the people at NASA keep on getting more and more sure that they have water on their hands up there. It's a big change from even a few years back - when the agency would never admit to such a thing. This is quite a change.
- lovemorgul, on 11/24/2008, -1/+8Ford will be buried with full military honors at his presidential museum in Grand.
- hydroplane, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5Quick! before Arnold's head explodes!
- TheJuggernaut, on 11/24/2008, -0/+5Git yo' ass to Mahs.
- chesscat, on 11/24/2008, -0/+4So does this mean any astronauts going to Mars won't have to drink their own piss?
- jrook85, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3That's old news. Our rovers melted much of the ice upon arrival. However, Gore is expected to launch in a recuperatory expedition to Mars in 2012. There's hope yet!
- jvjackson, on 11/24/2008, -2/+5ARMAGEDDON!
- bdsams, on 11/24/2008, -0/+3can we get a front page link to the APOD...instead of having it dugg everyday
- aweiksnar, on 11/24/2008, -1/+4I see what you hid there.
- enivid, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2So... I should bury this story?
- MisterEX, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2And if you call now -
You'll receive your very own Martian drinking reservoir! That's right, your future visits will be plentiful with lake-sized blocks of ice for your consumption. - homer4199, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2Thats it, i am changing my first name to Hauser.
- RealmDown, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2We'll call you Doogie anyway.
- hasslinthehoff, on 11/24/2008, -0/+2So much for Galactic Warming.
- chanop, on 11/24/2008, -1/+2DRILL BABY DRILL
- Kila, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1So this basically means we are on a certain path just like Total Recall, what else in that movie was true? Robotic Cab Drivers?
Tracking beacon in your nose. - Induane, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1????
- berfle, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Why such a woody for water on Mars though?
- beerwench, on 11/24/2008, -1/+2there are some really fat men on mars :(
- em00guy, on 11/24/2008, -0/+1It would nice to have a glacial site considered as a landing location for the Mars Science Lab
- TurboBeard, on 11/24/2008, -2/+2You know what happened to Mars? Global Warming.
- erkokite, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1???
- Induane, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1?????
- defektiv, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1Wouldn't that be awesome if we found a way to excavate or isolate enough loose dust off the surface of mars so that the (potential) ice underneath can react with the sun and possibly start shaping an environment right within reach of our own planet?
It's like the ultimate experiment that could possibly prove the origins of life once and for all! - SecureXeC, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1Our attention spans barely match 2 seconds. 5 billion years is too long to wait.
- Induane, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1???????
- Induane, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1????
- joncarr, on 11/24/2008, -2/+2Get your a$$ to Mars!
- Induane, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1??????
- jorisb, on 11/24/2008, -1/+1And don't forget.
"New radar images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter bolster an exciting hypothesis: huge glaciers of buried ice. Evidence indicates that such glaciers cover an area larger than a city and extend as much as a kilometer deep." - WibWobble, on 02/02/2009, -2/+1I just bet £100 that signs of alien life or former alien life will be discovered in the next year.
Hi. - danj484, on 11/24/2008, -1/+0Now they can replace recycled pee with carbon dioxide :/
- SeniorScrapper, on 11/24/2008, -2/+0The carbon dioxide glaciers on Mars are receding.
