Liquid Water on Dry, Cold Mars

The evidence is mounting that Mars has liquid water. Salty* water, true, but still liquid. If it weren’t salty, it wouldn’t be liquid.

Antarctica has liquid salty water too. Exotic microbes live in it. Coupled with the near certainty that Earth bacteria have blasted to Mars after meteorite strikes, Mars probably has microbial life.

If it has liquid water, which is still in dispute.

One of these days we’ll stop bickering and send a team of explorers to find out. Then we’ll know for sure and Mars will have life for sure, one way or another.

*The salts are salts the way chemists use the term, not the way the supermarket uses the term.
