Scientists have for the first time confirmed liquid water
flowing on the surface of present-day Mars, a finding that will
add to speculation that life, if it ever arose there, could
persist now.

“This is tremendously exciting,” James L. Green, the director of
NASA’s planetary science division, said during a news conference
on Monday. “We haven’t been able to answer the question, ‘Does
life exist beyond Earth?’ But following the water is a critical
element of that. We now have, I think, great opportunities in
the right locations on Mars to thoroughly investigate that.”

That represents a shift in tone for NASA, where officials have
repeatedly played down the notion that the dusty and desolate
landscape of Mars could be inhabited today.

But now, John M. Grunsfeld, NASA’s associate administrator for
science, talked of sending a spacecraft in the 2020s to one of
these regions, perhaps with experiments to directly look for
life.

Send the faggots to Mars.
