I predict that these replies will work their way further and further towards the porphyry of geological nomenclature, before spiralling down into a serious syncline.

I'd love to ride across this land on a Horst and Graben a few rocks on the way.
sorry! |

I've never seen such twisted metamorphics in all my life. Is everybody on this thread...stoned?

 I knew it when I saw the first pic of the"pond" ice was shown under the lander months ago  " LOS ANGELES - The Phoenix spacecraft has tasted Martian water for the first time. The robot heated up ice in one of its instruments earlier this week. Scientists say the chemical test confirms the presence of ice near the Martian north pole. Until now, the evidence for ice has been circumstantial. That was based on photos Phoenix took of a hard splotchy area near its landing site and changes it saw in a trench." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080731/ap_on_sc/phoenix_mars_2 |

(unnecessary chunk of previous post removed)
Loooong time lurker...first post...been wondering about this for a while....Has there been enough analysis done of the Martian "water" to make up a batch of it on Earth ?? Phoenix has "tasted" Martian water...what about us Earthlings ?? Is there eenough data on the water found on Mars to combine the appropriate elements (h2o +++ ??) and would it be safe for humans to actually sample ???? |

Once all the results are published, it would be pretty easy to figure out the right salts to mix up to come up with something that could approximate martian water as determined so far. (There might be trace elements present that were not detected or even some that could not be specifically identified). You could probably leave out some of the elements and components to come up with something that might be non-toxic enough to sold. Slap a catchy label on it, a great ad campaign, and Martian Water could be all the rage. -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

So...first we sell the Martian Water.... ......then we sell a water that has antioxidants to counteract any oxidizers in the Martian Water...
