"Bullet-proof" Evidence of past water found on Mars
(Reuters)


Reuters - A NASA rover scouting for signs of past water on Mars has found the strongest evidence yet -- a vein of gypsum, a mineral deposited by water, protruding from an ancient rock.

Curiosity Finds Evidence Of Ancient Freshwater Lake On Mars


"It's the kind of water where if you were really dying, you could drink it, but you probably wouldn't bottle it for resale," says the chief scientist of the Curiosity mission. Scientists say the lake could have sustained life billions of years ago.

FOUR billion years ago, Mars was a hotter place with the water flowing across the surface so fresh it could have supported life.

Researchers have found what may once have been the most liveable mud on the red planet after analysing some of the oldest minerals ever studied by NASA's Mars Opportunity Rover program. Ref. Source 6

NASA 'to make oxygen on Mars"

NASA plans to make oxygen on Mars early next decade. They will use a device, named MOXIE, that works like an engine but in reverse. Ref. Source 3

This is so exciting. I wish 2030 was here right now so I can be reading about men on Mars. The MOXIE operation is a big deal because if you can produce oxygen you can also get water going although I think there might be water underground on Mars.

NASA wants to make oxygen on Mars? That's scary. What if putting oxygen on Mars causes life forms to grow or evolve? That could be dangerous if these life forms ever gain access to space travel. Mars would be better off left alone.

Although boiling, water does shape Martian terrain

At present, liquid water on Mars only exists in small quantities as a boiling liquid, and only during the warmest time of day in summer. Its role has therefore been considered insignificant until now. However scientists have now shown that even though water that emerges onto the surface of Mars immediately begins to boil, it creates an unstable, turbulent flow that can eject sediment and cause dry avalanches. The flow of small amounts of a boiling liquid therefore significantly alters the surface. Ref. Source 7k.

Digging deeper into Mars

Scientists continue to unravel the mystery of life on Mars by investigating evidence of water in the planet's soil. Previous observations of soil observed along crater slopes on Mars showed a significant amount of perchlorate salts, which tend to be associated with brines with a moderate pH level. However, researchers have stepped back to look at the bigger picture through data collected from the 2001: Mars Odyssey, and found a different chemical on Mars may be key. Ref. Source 6i.
