Well, Mars officially has water ice! Someone tell Quatto! The Phoenix lander has discovered proof positive of water ice on the Martian surface on Thursday. The discovery brings us one step closer to colonization and I have to side with Warren Ellis on this one: ” Is putting humans on Mars important? Yes. Humans need land to live on, and, in a dynamic environment, they need land to move to. Closed systems are bad because they remove options. A single planet is a closed system. And the thing about land is, as a history teacher of mine used to say, they don’t make it anymore.” More from Wired
