NASA has just confirmed the existence of water on Mars. After staring at a pair of before and after shots, from the newly landed Mars Pheonix Lander, scientists concluded that the white powdery-looking substance in the images was water! Their evidence, the powdery substance, seems to have sublimated (turned from solid to gas) in the Martian Atmosphere. In other words… MELTING/EVAPORATING ICE! *cue Martian music* Don’t believe me? Here is their evidence.
YESSSSS!!! This is seriously one of the coolest things ever. Water on Mars. Life on Mars? Maybe I should start saving up for a retirement condo over there.
E, you’re so cool. Just like that ice, ice, baby.
Just as long as I get my Intergalactic War, the water can stay. 🙂
That last comment totally calls for some Beastie Boys up in this blog…

I actually heard about this on the Daily Show. Haha apperently this substenced was quoted from an official NASA document as being “white stuff” – a very scientific description.
