Mars may be more Mars-like than Earth-like after corrosive chemical found
By: William Atkins
With intelligent Earthlings bubbling about the possibility of life on the planet Mars, the NASA Phoenix Mars Lander is now suggesting that Martian soil may contain perchlorate, a chemically reactive salt, and one less conducive to the presence of life on the planet Mars.

Evidence of ancient lakes, rivers found in clay Martian soil
By: William Atkins
The NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has provided new data to scientists that show a host of “wet environments” existed billions of years ago on Mars. Scientists describe the amount of ancient Martian water as “pervasive and long-lasting.”

NASA scientists convinced Mars has ice!
By: William Atkins
The Phoenix Mars Lander photographed tiny pieces of bright, white material inside a dug out trench, and four days later they disappeared. Scientists say salt can’t evaporate but ice can when exposed to Martian atmosphere, making for great evidence for finding water on Mars.
