What do you think about it?

My wife hates cold weather and snow, so I'd never get to move there. The red soil would ruin your shoes anyway. I'll keep my mosquitos, fire ants, and humid nights.

Cool discovery, though!!!

"We really have enough information to begin rewriting the book of Martian geochemistry,"

Pretty f'ing cool.

For someone who grew up during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, that is exciting.

Wow just think if they find a snowman that would really be something. Like Lenguamor I grew up with the space program being something exciting. Then it lost it's way. Perhaps Mars will be the way back. Many good things have come out of the space program. We need some sort of research and development like the space program gives us. I don't see it coming from anywhere else.
