NASA’s Phoenix spacecraft has confirmed (for the first time ever) the presence of water on Mars.
The Phoenix found the water in the form of ice at the Martian north pole.
I wonder if we can use any of it to replace the Texas-sized ice sheets melting away from Earth’s polar ice caps every 30 seconds or so?

My favorite thing about the recent announcements regarding the presence of ice on the moon and on mars is that it’s viewed as a resource to be exploited for our own gain - to have people live there (until the water is gone I guess). We have learned NOTHING as a species from the current fossil fuel situation, the deforestation of Europe, etc. etc.
