NASA spacecraft confirms water on Mars

From RTE NEWS:

NASA scientists have said they had definitive proof that water exists on Mars after further tests on ice found on the planet in June by the Phoenix Mars Lander.

‘We have water,’ said William Boynton, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer instrument on Phoenix.

‘We’ve seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted,’ he said, referring to the craft’s instruments.
