Mars Had Surface Water for Eons
LukePieStalker writes "Far from being a one-time event, it now appears that surface water
flowed on Mars for eons. Nasa has announced that, after descending
down further into the Endurance crater, the Opportunity rover has found a 'razorback'. It is believed that this was formed by 'fracture fill' from the minerals in percolating water. Since this feature extends through several geologic layers, it argues for a long period of wetness near the surface. This would seem to substantially increase the chance that life once existed on the red planet."

where Nemo was hiding out.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
I knew those Arkansans seemed a little far out.
Now we just need to evidence of other university mascots, and we can build a case for a Mars Bowl.
You are not the customer.
Shame them didn't actually find water today of all days - 20:17:43 20 July 69
Yep, I guess that would be proof of water.

Just tell me when those cute space chicks show up...
IANAL, but I've seen actors play them on TV
After billions spend, what does this really teaches us?
If you're going to talk like Yoda, do it right: "After billions spend, teach us what does this?"
I scan the raw feeds from Mars regulary. I ran across the following image: Mars Photo. Now if that doesn't significantly improve the odds of life on Mars I don't know what does.
I used to wonder what was so holy about a silent night, now I have a child.
That's because they didn't have a hairy martian sitting in a tent with thousands of mosquitos telling them "no, nothing beats the deet".
WWJD.... for a Klondike bar?
Searching for life on the Martian surface is asking two wrong questions. Because below the surface, Mars is teeming with UNDEAD vampires!

It's as long as Slashdotters will argue over how long an actual eon is, when the reporter that used the term just thought it sounded good...

It must have been java-powered water. It ran too slow to actually function as advertised, and didn't actually combine with anything like it was supposed to, so it had no solvent properties.

One of the unwritten rules of slashdot is that you're not allowed to ask questions like that.
You're not allowed to know what's going on. Its not your business. This is their site and that's the end of it. Don't like it? Find somewhere else to post.
Not saying I approve - this attitude is one of the reasons there's not much real sense of community or loyalty here.
But them's the rules.
First, there's the estimated amount of water that would cause the global areological features
Areological? Mars has areolae? I thought that was Venus.

More than a minute and more than a millenium, according to Universe Man's watch.
In other news, it has been found that previous Mars rovers that have dissappeared onto the martian atmosphere have been sent back eons in time due to a glitch in calculations of relativity. The failed rover landed in a creater and had a fuel leak, with the spilliage causing creavases in the land called 'razorbacks'.
Ask Universe Man. He's got a watch with minute hand, millenium hand, and an eon hand.

Yeah, and given enough time, a 747 full of encylcopedia salesmen name Bob will fly out of a black hole.
The key concept you're missing here is meaningful or statistically significant.
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
My main concern here is Particle Man.
When he's in the water, does he get wet, or does the water get him instead?
