NASA Announces Water Found On Mars

Posted by timothy on from the so-val-kilmer-can-breathe-easy dept.

s.bots writes "Straight from the horse's mouth, NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has identified water in a soil sample. Hopefully this exciting news will boost interest in the space program and further exploration of the Martian surface." Clearly, this has long been suspected, but now Martian water's been (in the words of William Boynton, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer) "touched and tasted."

    prying the little rugrat out of her dilated vagoogoo.

    (My apologies to my as-yet-unconceived (I hope) second child).

    As long as you are calling it a 'vagoogoo' you are to young to have a first child, never mind a second.

    As long as you are mistaking "to" for "too", you ought not be complaining about the spelling in other posts.
