The images make this clear imo. But I'm a mathematician not a biologist and I need some professional feedback. Please take a look, thanks in advance. And the sponges soaked up all the water. That's why Mars is so dry. You haven't been keeping up with the latest observations. Mars is not dry. A large amount of water ice near the surface is well documented. "Frozen water makes up as much as 10 percent of the top meter (three feet) of surface material in some regions close to the equator." http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/odys...20031208a.html -- David M.
