NEWZ! you've heard it by now, so here's a picture of WATER, liquid water, on the surface of mars. it's flowing, it's there, it's waiting for us to arrive.

imagine taking that first bath in martian water. ahhh. and you're worried about the cold? could richard hoagland be correct in suggesting there are surface temps around 50f degrees?

50 ain't to bad after flying in space for 6 months. i'm hoping thats a valid estimate.
