NASA’s Phoenix Lander has discovered water on Mars. We now have a place to go once we destroy this planet. If NASA wants to pay for itself, they should consider mining the water and selling it here on Earth.
“NASA’s Mars Phoenix Lander quenched a longtime scientific thirst yesterday when it detected water in a soil sample—the first time liquid water has been touched or “tasted” on another planet.
The craft obtained water by heating an icy soil sample in its “bake and sniff” oven, called the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer. “TEGA” identifies substances by heating them and analyzing the resulting vapors.
“We have water,” said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for TEGA.
“We’ve now finally touched it and tasted it—and from my standpoint it tastes very fine.”"
Welcome to the party Richter!
