Why is NASA/JPL/AU promoting this “Discovery of Water Ice” has something new??? Viking Lander discovered and observed water ice 32 years ago!!!

This is awsome.
I’m going home to pack my bags. When do we leave? Can I fly with Major Tom?

Well, although exciting it will be decades before we actually go there for good. Even then it will be very expensive and hard living. Sure we have a ‘planned’

Is there a possibility it is dry ice?

Yeah, it would be awful to discover that we’d been fooled by those pesky sublimating salts! Such as … um, er … let me get back to you …

I think this is very exciting news. Although conlonization at any point in time might be a little far-fetched… I have always believed that there was life on Mars, and this is definately a start. I read the article on life being formed in ice, so maybe, just maybe there might be some neat stuff in that water!

I agree, analyzing the soil and the white substance will be fascinating, and will be the final confirmation of whether the Phoenix has found ice. But NASA does sound pretty convinced already: “It is with great pride and a lot of joy that I announce today that we have found proof that this hard bright material is really water ice and not some other substance,” said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith.

white stuff that sublimated– therefore water.

Not good enough. They(Nasa) should run the stuff through their analyzers
and tell us that they have found water –with what salts, etc.
Also they are supposed to tell us whether DNA is in the water, and with what twist.

I believe we shouldn’t rush to make statements based on unscientific
obsevations. Let’s get on with the analysis.

this is good news. becaus in a hundred years we could actually have full-blown civilizations on mars that would not depend on earth to survive enabling the human race to keep growing. its one more step for humanity on its long trek across the universe.
