First liquid water found on Mars

It's too deep for thirsty Martians to access it, but very interesting find all the same

“Establishing that there is a big reservoir of liquid water provides some window into what the climate was like or could be like,” said Manga, a UC Berkeley professor of earth and planetary science. “And water is necessary for life as we know it. I don’t see why [the underground reservoir] is not a habitable environment. It’s certainly true on Earth — deep, deep mines host life, the bottom of the ocean hosts life. We haven’t found any evidence for life on Mars, but at least we have identified a place that should, in principle, be able to sustain life."

Shit. I should have put that bet on at the bookies.

Fed up with the absolute moronic nazi scared racist turds in charge.

Fuck off with what other planets can sustain life and stop spunking money up the wall on space projects and use it to build better living infrastructure for everyone that lives here.

Or maybe the US could keep spending $25 billion a year on NASA projects like looking for signs of life on other planets and cut back a little on the $950 billion it spends on the military

You'll have to get rid of capitalism first. Good luck with that,

Chinese rover finds signs of ancient ocean on Mars

A Chinese rover has found new evidence to support the theory that Mars was once home to a vast ocean, including tracing some ancient coastline where water may once have lapped, a study said Thursday.In 2021, China's Zhurong rover landed on a plain in the Martian northern hemisphere's Utopia...

Water Ice Has Officially Been Found On Mars:

This image, captured by ESA’s Mars Express, showcases the Korolev crater, an 82-kilometer-wide structure located in the northern lowlands of Mars.

Korolev crater on Mars resembles a vast field of snow but is actually filled with ice. The crater, located in Mars’ northern lowlands near the Olympia Undae dune fields, spans 82 kilometers and has a central ice mound up to 1.8 kilometers thick that remains year-round due to a unique “cold trap” phenomenon.

This occurs because the crater’s floor, two kilometers deep, cools the air above the ice, creating a stable layer of cold air that prevents the ice from melting. This effect is heightened as air is a poor heat conductor, keeping the crater permanently icy.

The images, captured by the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), mark 15 years since the spacecraft began its mission, having entered Mars’ orbit on 25 December 2003.

Korolev crater is named after Sergei Korolev, a pioneer of Soviet space technology, known for his work on the Sputnik and Vostok programs, as well as early interplanetary missions.

Other missions, such as ESA’s ExoMars program, have also shown interest in this region to explore the possibility of past life on Mars. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, operating since April 2018, captured a detailed image of the crater’s northern rim, highlighting its unique icy landscape.
