NASA has announced through the Phoenix lander program that they have
found ICE on Mars.
No, not DRY ICE, WATER ICE!
Is NASA lying?

"We>ve seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the
Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix
last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched
and tasted."
With enticing results so far and the spacecraft in good shape, NASA
also announced operational funding for the mission will extend through
Sept. 30. The original prime mission of three months ends in late
August. The mission extension adds five weeks to the 90 days of the
prime mission. ...

"..NASA said Phoenix has achieved minimum success thus far. The space
agency on Thursday announced that it would extend the mission for an
extra five weeks until the end of September, adding $2 million more to
the $420 million price tag, said Michael Meyer, Mars chief scientist
at NASA headquarters. ..."

" ... NASA’s 2008 Senior Review of GP-B
In March 2008 at NASA>s invitation, we submitted a proposal to the
Science Mission Directorate, Astrophysics Division Senior Review of
Operating Missions (Sr. Review), requesting a final 18-month (October
2008 through March 2010), $3.8M extension of GP-B to complete the data
analysis and publish the results. In April, as part of the Sr. Review
process, GP-B Principal Investigator, Francis Everitt, and Program
Manager, William Bencze, made a presentation to the Sr. Review
Committee at NASA Headquarters, where it appeared to have been
favorably received.
Thus, we were greatly surprised last week to discover that the Sr.
Review had recommended that NASA not grant our final funding
extension, particularly since another NASA committee—the GP-B Science
Advisory Committee (SAC), chaired by relativistic physicist Clifford
Will—stated in its report following the November 2007 meeting: “The
SAC was impressed with the truly extraordinary progress that has been
made in data analysis since SAC-16 [Mar 2007] … and we now agree that
GP-B is on an accelerating path toward reaching good science
results.” ...

They found water, Saul. Soon they will find life, and soon after that
they will find intelligent life.

Is that a real prediction, Mark? lmao!
I doubt that they will find any life at all.
Mars is still martian even without life.
