WASHINGTON (Reuters) – It made a big splash when scientists announced in 2006 that images from a NASA spacecraft indicated water apparently had flowed on the surface of Mars in the past decade but new research casts doubt on that finding.

Mars does have water, and trees near the poles where the climate is good and the arid desert meets the ice caps.

I’m also pretty sure there are more than two rovers on mars. Why build and send 2 when you have the budget to send 10 or more.

The other ‘unknown’ rovers are visiting the real sites of interest, like the banyan trees and the polar regions.

Seems pretty dumb to send the two known rovers to the most devoid areas of interest to make out as if nothing is there!

I`ve just watched a documentary concerning the growth of bacteria contained in a drop of water and extracted from a salt crystal that was over two and half million years old,now that water is known to exist in relatively large quantities on mars i`m off to the bookies to put a tenner
on “little green microbes” hope i can still get good odds!

Fellow Skeptics and believers,

It’s all great and interesting content to explore, pro & con – and I for sure anticipate the upcoming images from the MRO. If it can image the rover along with the jettisoned heat shield, undeniable evidence should be no problem.

It’s all speculation at this point, but I’ll be bold, beat the rush now and jump on the Martian vegetable and water wagons. Room for plenty.

I bet that Martian water is refreshenly cool, and the shade pleasant from the harsh UV rays!

Respectfully,
