Ice found on Mars for real this time

[Pacfanweb]

There is water ice on Mars within reach of the Mars Phoenix Lander, NASA scientists announced Thursday.

Photographic evidence settles the debate over the nature of the white material seen in photographs sent back by the craft.

I can't wait. If we're really lucky we'll discover some bacteria or something... can I pet one?

maybe they can bring it back to earth and then it can infect us and turn us all into zombies...

Oh snap FOXDIE.

 

[QED]

Sorry, I'd be more happy if they had announced they had found OIL instead.

It's not like we are lacking in water and ice here on Earth (or unintelligent life, for that matter).

Did you know the Mars rovers actually use twitter to send info back to earth?

of organic molecules, among other substances, but the lander does not have instruments that could directly detect life.

WTF

Next the lander will find a broken gumball machine of instant martians (just add water!) and an Illudium Q-32 Explosive Space Modulator.

 

[PELarson]

This not the other.

then in a couple million years the Mars men will be visiting the remnants of Earth wondering how the hell happened here and get all giddy when they find evidence of water and wonder what if some germs/bacteria accidentally was left on their Earth probe???

yay

 

[Saint Nick]

I found ice in my freezer last night... and I didn't even need a space ship!
