Water flows on Mars, Nasa

New images and analysis suggest the slopes around the Red Planet's largest extinct volcano, Olympus Mons, contain dark stains caused by brine flowing down hill.

The discovery indicates that the substantial underground ice deposits on Mars can sometimes melt and flow across the surface.

It is bound to increase speculation that life may exist near to the surface of the planet.

<< Dark streaks on crater and valley walls may indicate that brackish water currently flows across the surface of Mars. >>

Emphasis added. Either way, an interesting find. :)

Oh great... our global warming problem is effecting Mars now... we're melting their ice caps too. :p
 

NASA just released a statement that the radiation is extremely high on Mars, if we visit, we are going to need some serious shielding to survive there.
