This is going to make Ridley Scott's The Martian seem a bit out of date!

Actually, I just read online that Scott has acted quickly on the news, and has hired people at every theatre showing the film to, at a crucial moment in the movie, take a glass of water and splash it onto Matt Damon! big grinbig grinbig grinbig grin

True, but Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles may come back into vogue. smile

I heard Nestlé are sending their own shuttle.

They decided hurling a few hundred thousand miles' worth of four-inch pipe in the general direction of Mars was more cost effective. Bastards.

why California
has no more water.

Ah, that explains why there were so many references to boiling in that book that the probe found on Mars called To Serve Man.

Haven't they known about some form of water on Mars for years? I don't get why this is so big news....

This is LIQUID, FLOWING water... THAT'S why it's such a big deal.

Thor, Michael Meyer, the project's lead scientist seen in the video, looks a bit like you. Just a bit older, but you'll get there.

Thor, imagine if they had discovered flowing beer on Mars.

Where there's liquid water, there's life- on Earth. So does Mars have aquifers underground? Could be a game changer.

I do get the lackluster response to this news; I mean think about it. If you are an alien race and you send out a probe to Earth and one to Mars. On Mars you're lucky to find anything, let alone the chance you document flowing water. On earth, there's lots of life; fauna and flora, sightseeing, animals, people, buildings, cars, boats, highway billboards, the pollution in our atmosphere alone would be fun to analyse. I think that press conference would be a lot cooler lol. Just the other day I saw a video of someone trying to kill a spider in a gas station with his lighter:

Ah, what a "human" way of looking at things. Aliens might very well come to Earth, witness our witless shenanigans, shrug their shoulders, and move onto Mars with delight.
(I know your kidding of course!)

I'll drink it when I see it. This is all hypothetical, just like the 1996 headline about a Mars meteorite which started life on Earth. It didnt sell then, it didnt sell in Ridley Scott's "Prometheus."
And before Cheney or Rove starts the rumor, Saddam did NOT bury weapons of mass destruction on Mars, either.

Somebody's gonna make a fortune collecting, bottling and selling Mars water on eBay.

Unless they find like a Mars darter fish, delta smelt or some shit.
