Nasa's Phoenix lander spacecraft has for the first time identified water in a sample of soil collected from the planet's surface.

"We've seen evidence for this water-ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted," William Boynton, one of the researchers on the mission, explained.

Surprised it's not been mentioned yet, they've been looking for water there for a long time. It's probably the biggest discovery of 2008.

...tasted?

Only a matter of time now before bottling companies start smacking a label on that fresh Martian water, now that we know how good it tastes.

I think we all knew that there was water on Mars.

lol. I don't give a shit, reason being because it doesn't really mean anything other than life at some point COULD have lived on Mars. However I don't follow the exploits of that tard Goody much

Its probably the biggest astronomical discovery of 2008. But until we learn to terraform planets its a pretty meaningless discovery.
