Come on guys, this isn’t an “article”, its a news snippit. It wasn’t meant to help you graduate from college, or give you every little detail. if you want more of a read, head over to Nasa’s website. Why so critical about this?

Mars is between 206,669,000 kms and 249,209,300 kms away from Earth. So question. What real meaning does the discovery of water have for us today?
Are we going to carve it up and bring back to earth?
Plant seedlings and watch them being torn out by the Martian winds?
Spend billions to create a small nursery protected by a perspex dome, and send a small party of people to eat the vegetables in order to justify the project?
Send a small group of collonists to set up base by diverting funds from helping the poor, cleaning the earth’s environment, etc.?
The unavoidable fact is that to set up base would be next to impossible. Firstly there is a hostile climate, the inability to relaunch from the Martian surface, the need for spares and supplies, the toll of space travel and reduced gravity on the human body, etc.
The impact of this find can only be nil.
Our excitement level should barely stir.
Maybe we are interested but this discovery has no importance for this generation or any other generation.
But the world is in a mess.
Correct. All the more reason for the Lord Jesus Christ to return.
The only real hope if only people would humbly read their Bibles.

If anyone cares to know, please read the Vedas. These ancient texts from India have all what the scientist are just now understanding. The vedas tell of life on every planet and universe. The whole material manifestation is made up of earth, water, air, fire, and ether. In addition to these gross elements there are two subtle elements. So according to the elemental constitution of a particular planet or universe, beings assume bodies in accordance. The vedas also stipulate that the whole material nature, made of uncountable bhramandas or universes have beings crawling on every available space. This may sound strange but recent findings by scientist confirm living entities being discovered in the deepest recess of the oceans and other unimaginable places. According to the Smithsonia Magazine, scientist have found germs alive in artificial diamonds manufactured under the highest pressure and heat imaginable to humankind.
There are beings operating on different frequencies and dimensions that gross elementals like us cannot see. The Vedas give 14 levels of dimensions of material existence. Our dear plane Earth, which is like a grain of sand on the beach of the universal creation, is located around the middle of this 14 level division. So there are beings in grosser bodies than us and beings in subtler bodies also. With our tiny brain faculty we are trying to understand what is beyond us. However with guidance from higher sources one can theoretically understand some workings of nature.

My hope is that Kuato can solve this problem.

How do they know it isn’t dry ice, frozen carbon dioxide, which sublimes?

IIRC, you submitted the same comment twice? Sometimes the comment system holds onto duplicate comments and long comments for manual moderation. I thought you had hit submit twice, but if it was another comment I’m sorry.

So it might just be “ice” on the surface… but what if I dig down 1000 feet… where the pressure/gavity of any planet… will cause heat… and it becomes underground LIQUID water…

… who know what will be growing in that.

The photo looks doctored. It look like they spread powdered salt (NaCl) and then scraped it around to make it look like it was there from the beginning. We should know how NASA operates. We are responsible for uncovering scientific misconduct by fabrication and falsification. I’ll tell you how desperate NASA is to get positive publicity. They are co-sponsors of a small time balloon and air show in Waxahachi and Midlothian Texas. Two dirt farming communities that barely even register on the scale for viable life forms.

I’m disappointed in this article. There is no additional information inside the article than what is in the heading.

Do some research and certainly take some lessons on how to write an article.

Time and time again I read things like “Water in liquid form is an essential ingredient for life.” and wonder, how does anyone know this?

I mean seriously there are billions and billions of galaxies what makes you think another species galaxies away can thrive on a substance other than water, what makes people think there are not hundreds if not thousands of undiscovered elements out there.

I think water may be to our knowledge the most likely or most ideal ingredient for life, but I hardly find it neccassary.

How can we assume all life needs water, if we haven’t even traveled outside of own galaxy yet.

I’m really not sure why we are the primary link for this on Google News. We’re a technology and gadget blog, and cover random bits of news like this when they’re interesting.

The idea in a post like this is not to report the entire story (astrogeology isn’t anybody’s specialty here) but simply to make our readers aware of something they might not have seen yet and direct them towards the story.
