Martian scientists are getting excited with more evidence showing that Mars may have liquid water flowing underneath its surface.
(New Scientist Space) Water may have once flowed several kilometres beneath the surface of Mars in underground piping, according to new images of pipe-like fractures in bedrock taken by the most powerful camera in orbit around Mars. [...]
“These deeper underground areas may have been an oasis for any sort of biologic activity that may have been occurring,” says Chris Okubo, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, US.
Some scientists think that Mars may hold oceans beneath its surface. If so, locating these underground reservoirs will definitely be key towards conquering the red planet as water can provide not only life, but fuel (via hydrogen) as well.
