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

pH is a quirky parameter and we may be putting too much stock in this value. I do wish that the media would stop proclaiming "conditions favorable for life" when the conditions are simply "not hostile to life". I'll be wanting to see an anion-cation balance and Piper-Stiff diagrams (et al) when the full chemistry comes in. It's been centuries since I've done one manually, I'll need to unearth my textbooks...
