Phoenix lander confirms ice in Martian soil
LOS ANGELES - The Phoenix spacecraft has tasted Martian water for the first time. The robot heated up ice in one of its instruments earlier this week. Scientists say the chemical test confirms the presence of ice near the Martian north pole.
Until now, the evidence for ice has been cir stantial. That was based on photos Phoenix took of a hard splotchy area near its landing site and changes it saw in a trench.
Phoenix landed in the Martian arctic on May 25 on a three-month digging mission. NASA on Thursday said it was extending the mission another two months.

Which makes bases and, yes, colonization, much more feasible.
If they find similar in craters on the moon, it will mean getting humans into space will be a LOT cheaper, as water wouldn't have to be lifted into orbit, but simply mined and extracted by robotic facilities.
Cool!!
Something else was found in Uranus!
Should we declare war yet?
If there's oil we'll need to send in the troops to liberate the Martians.
I hear mars has WMD's...
I wonder if since they found water on Mars they can find the socks I lost in the dryer. F'n dryer
