What I didn't see in the press release was whether the spectrometer
picked up any other elements in the geysers that would indicate
volcanic contaminents. No volcanic elements, IMHO would seem to imply
some kind of subsurface water body.

Another important piece of evidence omitted in the press release (but present
in the paper) was the sheer amount of water jetting out from the moon - that
strongly hints at pressurized water venting.



It still think exploring it is important and alot more likely to gain
some results (if there is any life other than on Earth) than
continuing to send probes to long dead dried up old Mars.
