Default New NASA discovery. Wow!

Nasa finds existing water on Mars! This really is big news. Nasa press conference right now on 24hr sat/cable news channels. Quite incredible stuff.

I think it was yesterday when I said to Gibs and Pants in TeamSpeak that if I´d be the GWX´s project manager, there would be killer seagulls, polarbears with bazookas and dolphins that shoot laser out of their a**.

Now, I can start my own mod to include all those, but instead of Earth the submarines would be in Mars. Good thing they found water from there, otherwise people would say my mod is unrealistic! Thank you, NASA.

Water not only suggests possible life, but it is the key ingredient for a permanent base - it solves a ton of problems from irrigation for sustaining plant life to something as simple as O2 generation!

I was planing on a home on the moon, but I might just upgrade to Mars!

There is life on Mars. Al Gore. He brought global warming with him and it's causing the Martian polar ice caps to melt.

Perhaps he can invent a good joke for his buddy John Kerry.

Each year at the same period NASA discover a new important fact on Mars or on the Moon (it just before the congress vote the budget of the NASA) and months after, they say hoops sorry, it was an error from a sensor or a mis interpretation .
I wonder how the congressmen didn't realize this

Could just be a coolant leak from the lost expedition vehicles.
