NASA just announced they found liquid water on Mars! Before they found strong evidence of organic compounds and now they just found liquid water. This is as close to discovering life as we can get without actually discovering it! One step closer! This has to be one of the most exciting discoveries in space exploration in years. Great work NASA!
Edit: This also makes the possibility of a Mars colony a lot easier! One step closer from expanding from 1 planet to 2!
Edit: NASA believe the water is probably very salty. That's most likely the only way liquid water could exist.
[spoiler]That means we can actually say the forums are salty like the water on Mars!!![/spoiler]
Edit: I'm reading news about it as its coming out. Some scientists are think that terraforming Mars could be easier and faster if we have a source of liquid water! THIS IS HUGE!
Edit: More than 1100 comments! Very cool!
Our solar system is but a grain of sand in an endless sea of aw and wonder and yet we as humans have only begun to open the door to a universe filled with infinite possibilities. Being the most intelligent species in a solar system is like being the king of a chair. It means nothing, and yet it is everything we know.
[b][u]TL;DR[/u][/b]: NASA made a huge discovery by finding proof of liquid water on Mars which is a perfect environment for life.

I wonder if environmentalists will start a "Keep Mars Red" campaign to stop terraforming?

Salty water?

Bump.

Pretty sweg. Guess Marvin ain't happy.

Bump for science

I move the first colony on Mars be named Freehold

I'm going to bump this.... But there is one small thing that troubles me about this post... He refers to water as being liquid... Water is only liquid... There is no reason to state that it's liquid water... Where's my haters at?

Thy already found liquid water on Mars but they just found flowing water. Still a really cool discovery maybe we can build cities on Mars some day.
-
Bungie should put water on mars in destiny now.
-
Uhm no, let's not look at colonizing on another planet, already bad enough earth is in bad shape from pollution and all. Don't let me destroy another world.
-
Oh fck no, Valus is over there, i am not going to visit Mars anytime soon. Fck that shit
-
This not really new news. They already knew that it had water on the planet for quite some time now. The poles of the planet have ice so anywhere below the ice caps would have to have water. Boring.
-
Wow, very cool
-
Astronaut of NASA:We can now make the colony we've been planning. What's your plan to do it Sir? NASA CEO:Whether we wanted it or not....

woohoo must be xylar

The cabal are to blame. That water is cabal piss
-
I believe it may have been Europa, or possibly a satellite observed in the Gleaus system, but there was liquid water observed elsewhere in otherwise freezing temperatures that was sustained through the satellite's host exerting fluctuating gravitational pressures that forced water up in geysers that shot several miles out from the poles, and what's more: they found traces of amino acids within the water For clarification, amino acids are the basic components that make up DNA. This means carbon based life like ourselves has a chance of developing given the proper conditions
