I think it's great that there could be manned missions to mars, but I don't quite understand how the discovery of ice on mars would make manned missions any more possible. Don't they take water with them on missions anyway? Could anyone shed some light on this?
Displays that require the user to wear glasses aren't what I'd call and adequtes solution
I believe what he was refering to were the screens that actually create a 3d image without glasses. They're really impressive. They do this by having two hi res lcd's, one on top of the other, that have a slight offset in the image between the two. The top one is translucent and the difference in the two pictures creates the illusion of 3d without having to use glasses or anything. It's like you've got your own holographic monitor!
I just can't wait until they come into my college budget price range (yeah, like that's gonna happen:)
