NASA: Rover landed in a former Martian lake.
In a press conference today NASA announced evidence that liquid water existed at the Rover Landing site. Senior scientists speculate that the water source could have ranged anywhere from hidden groundwater to a sea the size of one of America's Great Lakes. Though liquid water has long been suspected on Mars, this discovery takes the exploration to a new level.

Maybe Mars is going through an extended, extreme ice age just like Earth has in the past (with all water currently at the frozen poles. I don't know much about that sort of thing, but is it possible? Next thing Jean M. Auel will write a book about it.

I think Mars is where Saddam Hussein put those weapons of mass destruction. Here's a smaller article on finding water on Mars. I would love to see America go to Mars. The problem is there is no money for the project.

Still no weapons of mass disappearance found on Mars, but more evidence for water.

Well done, Nasa!
