Mars Rover finds more evidence of water

Basically, the rover has discovered what looks very much like an ancient streambed on Mars :)

That's nice, but I'd be really excited if it'll find actual water somewhere on Mars.

They already found water on mars, it's just frozen.

I'm looking forward to further analysis of Mars' methane.  If it's biological in origin that would be freaking awesome. :)

Well, I meant liquid water. Ice on Mars is old news.

The methane outcome will interest me also. Unless one of the NASA employees passed gas during the construction of the rovers, trapping it inside the sensor.  :lol:

:rolleyes: Passed gas, that is a polite way of saying someone farted. Being it's methane. Just a jest, a gag.

That's unfortunately impossible for the vast majority of Mars' surface.  The average surface air pressure on Mars is lower than water's triple point, therefore water can't exist in the liquid phase regardless of what the temperature is.  (If you warm ice at such pressure, it just sublimates instead of melting. See phase diagram).  That said, the pressure is variable with seasons, and at very low altitudes like Hellas Basin can be high enough to support liquid water, if the temperature is also above 0°C.
