Rovers have drilled into the rock and soil of Mars and after testing
over a billion parts could not detect a molecule of water. Mafia NASA
now sent Curiosity to find life. Ha Ha Ha . Its no wonder China will
have a base on the Moon by 2025. Get the picture TreBert

But they sure detected copious material that form in water.

Check out the Phoenix Mission--water ice.

I satisfied my curiosity, and found out that Gale Crater is named
after an Australian banker, Walter Frederick Gale, who was also an
avid amateur astronomer, and the discoverer of two comets.

He did observe Mars, and mapped some canals there.

Perhaps someday there will be a yellow brick canal built in his honor
on Mars...

Sam-

I know you're probably just copying and pasting the title, but PLEASE
don't use all caps for the subject. I filter posts to reject those
that do this, as it gets rid of all that Ed Conrad crap.
