With the recent tease of nasa of a new found major discovery in the planetary neighborhood, NASA came out today to announce they have found, with the help of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO)  the evidence of salty water flowing on mars.
 


Water is one of the key ingredients for life as we know it. We’ve known for a while that Mars has frozen water at its poles, and earlier this year the Curiosity rover detected the possibility of salty water below the surface, but this is the first evidence for it flowing on the surface.

During the warm seasons, temperatures on the Red Planet reach about 250-300 Kelvins (-23 to 27 degrees Celsius, -10 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit) and in order for liquid water to survive (even temporarily) on the surface of Mars today, it would have to contain some salt. Both remote and in-situ investigations have shown that various salts, such as perchlorates, sulfates, and chlorides are present on the Martian surface. These salts can significantly lower both the freezing point and the evaporation rate of water, and also easily absorb moisture from the atmosphere.

cool stuff !    no aliens yet. but cool stuff !

 

 

 

water is probably salty cus curiosity hasn't found aliens yet.

I did a presentation about saving water in California, and one of our slides was a pic of mars and the meme writing "Mars, More water than California"

It has been predicted many times before, this is just a confirmation to be honest.

 

 

 

We knew there had to be SOME water left on that planet.

well i i need is a good power source and decent internet and im gone i wonder what my ping would be on mars 

Well depending on where the two planets are in their orbits it takes light anywhere from about 4 minutes to 21 minutes one way, so the best ping you could have is 8 minutes or 480000ms  :)

Aha! So now I know that when my ping goes crazy, its just my connection going through a proxy on mars. K .

That fact that they were able to confirm its existence is a huge scientific break through when it comes to Mars and life outside this world. This is awesome!

Not sure how resistant to evaporation this water is - that would have to be a lot of salt. Rovers have dug up bits of ice and they evaporate within minutes.

Oh there's definitely aliens out there. I think the bigger question is, is there 'intelligent ' life out there.

Aliens probably already sent us a message, humans just mistook it as dubstep.

So Skrillex is an Alien? I mean, it makes sense, because tons of people mistake his tracks as dubstep. :P

Alright.  Now let's nuke the poles of Mars, and then start terraforming it.

No, let's convince the US Government that there is lots and lots and lots of oil on Mars. We'll be there tomorrow.

We gotta do this -right.  "There is oil, dictators, and a Communist insurgency on Mars."  We'll be there today.

Nope, we've got to do it better. "Those planes that smashed into the Twin Towers - those were actually sent from mars. The terrorists were martians." We'd be there yesterday :P
