We'll soon know what kinds of crops we can grow on Mars! Bonus, the fruits will be already freeze-dried!

Hmm. What does this tell us (if anything at all) about the existence of superoxides at the site? Straining my memory of ancient high-school chemistry here, I would expect such compounds to be aggressive electron donors & therefore acidic.
(Okay, now tell me I got that backwards. Plus, I know it's a subsurface sample, but you'd expect this stuff to get circulated down at least a couple of cm due to wind action over time.) -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
