How long before they find the first Martian Starbucks? Probably right next to the McDonald's and Walmart.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
ya, just release some alge or other brackish tolerant plant and wait a few million/billion years.
THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!!! eventually.
It even has a name. In Martian the word "Grok" means "to know", "to eat", "body" and, of course "water".

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."

That black stuff looks more like oil to me... Maybe mr. Bush will rush to Mars next.
When you say "send a probe" do mean sending a million dollar toy hurttling into the surface of mars. Or did you mean land it this time? However in all seriousness true no volume of pictures will substitute for being there
Sex is what happens when people think no one else will ever find out
If we colonize Mars, the Native Martians get screwed, and then we will start to feel sorry and let them open up casinos to make up for it.

Going to Mars would probably suck. For example, I think living in Anarctica sounds a lot better. I predict the population of Mars will never exceed that of Antarctica.
You know, the Spanish empire ignored North America because it thought it was just a useless, barren wasteland. I can imagine them saying something similar. The Moon is a like Antarctica, Mars is more like northern Canada - difficult, but liveable.

Water on Mars? Woah...that might make some really kick ass bong water!
How long before the first paper mill?
Take a dish of water and put it under vacuum. See how it boils? That's lower pressure causing boiling at lower tempurature, son.
Hmmm, mine's not boiling. Do I have to plug the vacuum in first? Hmmm, no change.
Mostly naked, and effectively petrified!
