Here's a hint -- clever condescension doesn't become you. Especially because you lack the smarts to back it up.
Science channel, space week. you should check it out. Astrology, check it out. Polar Ice caps on Mars check it out.
The NASA guys are looking for evidence of rivers, lakes, and oceans once being there. People assume they were looking for water but they can see that its there. One of the really interesting findings though its carbon dioxide, thats a good indicator of there being life (probably plant life) on Mars at a time.
Ice is found on or near most of the planets in this solar system but its not liquidized. The reason, Mars and Venus were so intriguing is because they do orbit the sun in the habitable zone. Venus turned out to be a greenhouse planet of hell and Mars looks to have been once capable of containing life so far. I know that most people wouldn't pay attention to what is being found on other planets but most of the people I talk to had a simple understanding that water is there. In highschool my Chemistry teacher even went on to talk about how they finally got pictures of Mar's ice caps.
Then again, its pointless to talk about anything since I'm such a blabbering idiot. Though I do appreciate the water on Mars picture and some other things that were said about the discussion.
