We are going to get a taste of Martian water!


NASA is going to send a mission to Mars come august titled 'phoenix'.this mission unlike other missions is going to be sent to the northern plains of Mars where the ice is alleged to be on the surface just slightly beneath the subsoil.this mission is all about ice,literally.the main objectives of this mission is to analyse the Martian ice for its components and any evidence of life in any form whatsoever.generally the scientists all believe that microbes should exist even in a barren atmosphere as long as water is present.
Well by next may[the landing time for Phoenix on mars] we will all know whether water exists on Mars and in a manner of speaking we would actually taste the martian water at least know what it is composed of.who knows,maybe in a few years we may even be drinking bottled martian water?!?
Phoenix is not going to have a soft landing according to NASA but instead going to crash into the northern plains of Mars.but unfortunately this time around,the camera would be left out of the mission.that is really too bad as those high res image of ice on Mars would be just fantastic.i guess we should all settle for just a telescopic image of the Martian polar cap for the moment.come next may,many of our earnest questions are going to be answered.whether water existed on mars and whether life is still there on Mars!
