"These observations give the strongest evidence to date that water still flows occasionally on the surface of Mars," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, Washington.

I don't know Chris. With the prevalence of all these faked photos and the accusation that the moon landing actually was filmed on a sound stage - that first set of pictures just looks like a closeup inside the toilet at a frat house - one that hasn't seen any TidyBowl in quite a while!

Running water on Mars - yeah right! :)

"Oh Snap! There's running water on Mars!" was actually the first thing NASA said at the press conference. :lol:

Running on water on Mars. :roll: The water thing on Mars will still be analyzed, debated, argued upon, etc. for years to come.

Can't help but think of that movie that Ahnold Schwarznegger was involved in trip to Mars where some people were outside, and I can still vividly recall their eyes bulging in the Martian atmosphere.

Whenever someone mentions that movie, the martian with 3 personalities is the first response 9 out of 10 people say.

Person 1: Hey how is it possible in Total Recall for an alien air conditioner-looking thing to create enough air to fill an atmosphere of an entire planet with breathable oxygen in 30 seconds?

(< 2 second delay of silence)

Person 2: Remember that martian with 3 boobs?

Person 1: Yeaaaaaaaah.

What I want to know is if life is found on other Mars, even in the micro-organism form, what will religious fundamentalist creationists think? That can't jibe with their beliefs. Although, they do have dinosaurs and people living within like 20 years of each other and have no problem with that.

Life on other planets would be HUGE for scientologists though! Recruitment through the roof!

Not to mention the movie disregarded the explosion potential for "creating that much oxygen so quickly." The chemical reaction would have exploded violently.
