    Default NASA finds liquid water on Mars

    NASA scientists say they have found what could be the first evidence of flowing water on the surface of Mars.

    Recent images broadcast from the surface from NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter probe show dark, finger-like features that appear to extend down the slope of a crater on the surface of Mars.

    The features are present during what would be the Martian summer and then disappear during the colder months.

    Frozen water was discovered on the Martian surface a decade ago.

    What a massive waste of money. They should spend money fixing problems back home before trying to find more on Mars. Even if it is water, what will be accomplished by finding it?
    Go to Google Maps and click “Get Directions.” Get directions leading from China to Taiwan, and look at instruction #48.

    If we spent our lives trying to make the world perfect before researching new frontiers, we all still be living in caves.

    What problems back home would you like to fix ?
    How much money do you require ?

    Please feel free to PM me when NASA finds liquid beer or bourbon on Mars.
    Meanwhile I'll have to make do with my local Bottle-O.
    Much cheaper than sending an interstellar probe and only a fraction of the CO2 emissions when compared to my old V8 at the drive thru.
