Maybe we inhabited mars, fucked it up, and moved to earth.

This is a really cool discovery. I'm glad it's finally been confirmed after years of speculation.

[daweller]

How long now until some company gets this water and starts selling Mars bottled water.... for $1500 per bottle?

[FinnDillow]

This is so huge. We have such a better hint for life now. That's truly amazing.

A BBC video about water on Mars and no Doctor Who jokes in the comments?

I'm ashamed of you, internet!

[davidkovach]

4 to 8 year old pictures...Really..what else do you have? Anything New!??

[redfalkon]

What's best about this is how in the same announcement that there is water on Mars, they admit to knowing it from the first time they received soil sample data.

[vodkatonic]

Very interesting.  I wonder if the pope will blame "man made climate change" for the demise of mars, too?  Maybe Martians didn't pay enough carbon taxes.

[KennethDCalderon]

I think most people won't believe this. But I believe this is true! Maybe some atheists will agree with me.

"Evidence has been found that liquid water is flowing on Mars, NASA scientists announced today" <<< news story from December *2006*

[HostileLemons]

Ok that's good and all but a bit silly when millions of people on earth still can't get water to drink, on a planet that is around 70% water. This really shows that our commitments are in the wrong place.

[jcrossan]

Great in the future if people go to mars and touch that water they’ll turn into the flood from Doctor Who

[john]

If scientists can make fuel from water, Why can't they do it here on Earth?

[Dragon-bixp]

If water needs oxygen then you could just take off those helmets.

[Factology]

NASA NEW THIS FOR YEARS, I HAVE CONTACTS.

[Ajmolali]

Does Mars have valuable resources which could benefit humanity like Oil and gas that would be a real discovery.

[benidictnelbert]

tell us something we don't know nasa

[rogerkreil]

There probably is lots of water underground too!  :D

[r-vak]

Don't let this fool you, people. Fake as can be.

[AsherSkylark]

WOOH, Yesterday there was a Supermoon, now THIS!!! is the Earth gone crazy?
