Dan, I think you've mistaken a part of sunlit soil in Phil's image as white stuff. Agreed. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Here's a flicker between sol 21 and 24 showing change (or, rather, lack of):
Ignore the color of the brightest part of the white stuff, it's overexposed. The small white chunk in sol 21 image appears to disappear in sol 24 (inset). -------------------- |

...best business model ever, you two!
I suspect, though, that even faux Martian water would taste atrocious & smell worse, kinda like the tap water in Amarillo, Texas. If you leave a faucet dripping in that town for a week, you got yourself a sink stalagmite... -------------------- 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.
