Relating to Mars Express: "At the same time, ESA’s Mars Express mission is continuing its investigations of Mars, painting a new picture of the 'red planet'. This includes the first ever probing below the surface of Mars, new geological clues with implications for the climate, newly-discovered surface and atmospheric features and, above all, traces of the presence of water on this world." |

Well, keep in mind that the central goal of Martian exploration is still finding promising possible fossil beds -- and ancient clays from nonacidic water are the best candidate yet: much better than acid-produced sulfates. As Doug McCuistion said at the COMPLEX meeting, the strategy of trying to close in on the best places to look for Martian fossils as our top goal is producing huge amounts of non-biological scientific data about Mars as a side benefit -- whereas the reverse would not be true. (The major exceptions seem to be atmospheric studies and seismology, both of which are given an improved place in the latest NASA plan.)
