The deepest hole on earth is 12km and took 20+ years to drill. Reaching that water is not even a little bit easy.

This is where the tech from the oil and gas industry will be crucial for water extraction. We already know about even deeper oil deposits that the industry will at some point advance its extraction technologies for so with a little bit of ingenuity it may just be possible.

My head while watching this: ⬆️↖️↙️⬅️⤴️↩️⬇️↕️🔄

Nestlé starts founding space travel at this point.

Hydrogeologist here. On earth we just call that an aquifer.

[andrewkelly]

So aliens are underground on mars. I remember this i think. Im having a total recall

[cassie.m.]

Instead of "colonizing mars" I truly wish more people funding these kind of things would put more work into fixing what's wrong on the planet we're currently occupying

[nchtdiemama]

Another Syfy story comes truth. The Syfy movie with Arnold the Gouvernateur shows water in frozen form inside the mountains of mars.

[Jamie-reun]

It's true, I go fishing there every weekend 😂

[JinKee]

Fracking for water on mars. Sounds like something we would do

[rsnell]

When it's seen on the surface, NASA colors it gray. All that gray water means they must do a lot of laundry.

[Big_Nod]

It’s always “near limitless” till humans get there and wreck everything

[jwarmstrong]

The many billions to carry equipment to Mars then drill for years currently doesn't sound like a good idea - more like a Pie in the Sky plan

[Loklak]

Plot twist: after arriving there and digging into the water source found some spooky living in that area

[appliedfacts]

When it comes to drilling, the only guys to call is Harry Stamper's team. Before he died he never missed his drilling target. They are a lot on the wild side but they have unparalleled experience in off planet drilling.

[jaymzgaetz]

It seems plausible to send an automated drill and pump unit to bring the "water" above ground before any human arrives.

[johnwang]

10 to 20 km down tells me they would need the microwave drills being experimented on as replacing the drill bits as they wear out would not only be time consuming but costly to launch that many drill bits for conventional drilling. Mind you, a microwave drill could probably drill the bore hole or most of the bore hole autonomously before any colonists arrive.

They might want to do something about the need for bore hole casing as that's also a fair bit of mass to launch for a 20 km deep well. Maybe they could sinter the bore hole walls with a laser or again with the microwaves (though the metal casing also acts as a waveguide for the microwaves so maybe a maser).

[j.tyler]

Yea, ok. Took us 20 yrs to drill a little over 7 miles. So people think it's going to be possible to drill 5 miles deeper on a surface that's 100x more difficult to drill due to extreme temperature and pressure conditions. This discovery is as useful as a poopy flavored lolipop😂

Interesting hypothesis! What a wonderful rock Mars continues to reveal itself to be! 🚀 🇮🇳 🇨🇳 🇯🇵

[SidDTheSimschannel]

It is the planet protecting itself, since water is heavy when liquid and the loss of pressure to hold water on its surface it most likely retreated underground though some water was lost to space, heat up the planet and restore the temperature and we might see Mars vegetations use the carbon rich atmosphere and convert it to oxygen, and then when the pressure is right you will see the restart of Mars water cycle.
