Huge Water Reserves Found All Over MarsThe edges of Martian "glaciers" sticking out from under the soil at the edge of cliffs: At sites across the midsection of Mars, scientists have found layers of water ice buried mere feet beneath the red planet’s surface. The discovery adds crucial detail to Mars’s geologic history, and it may shape how future humans on Mars get their water.
"This is a new window into ground ice on Mars," says Colin Dundas, the U.S. Geological Survey geologist who co-discovered the ice layers. And in late 2016, scientists using the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) found a buried ice sheet at Mars’s mid-latitudes that holds about as much water as Lake Superior. But until Dundas’s study, published today in Science, scientists struggled to understand the extent and accessibility of Mars’s subsurface ice layers.
The eight sites featured in the new study include steep banks where, much like cutting into a cake, erosion has exposed layers of rock and ice that MRO could see from overhead. The bands of ice first appear between three and six feet underground, supporting the notion that Mars’s mid-latitudes periodically saw large snowfalls millions of years ago, when Mars was tilted on its axis at a steeper angle than it is today, says Dundas.

Ok so water is found on Mars. Call me when NASA finds either a Shadow ship or a large settlement there with tri-breasted strippers.

I never understood the 3 breasted mutant. I always found 2 to be more than enough.

That's a tremendous discovery that obviously Panzer doesn't appreciate.

That's a tremendous discovery that obviously Panzer doesn't appreciate. I'll appreciate it once Elon Musk has a colony on Mars. For now, this is just another NASA blurb that will be forgotten about by next week.

But doesn't Mars have a weak Magnetosphere ? Unless we can kickstart that any new atmosphere will just get stripped off by the sun again.

Colonization and terraforming are two different things, I believe the former is possible, maybe even probable, but the latter is highly unlikely.

Hydrogen of course has its uses as well.
Well it combines readily with oxygen...
