A giant deposit of buried ice on Mars
#1
Yes, that right, this ice deposit is so large there's no reason we can't go to Mars and grow our own food and have water to drink.
They say it's under the Martian soil, some areas it's 3 feet down and others 33 feet down.

That's a Lot Of Water and I'm willing to bet there's more.
Quote:A giant deposit of buried ice on Mars contains about as much water as Lake Superior does here on Earth, a new study reports.

The ice layer, which spans a greater area than the state of New Mexico, lies in Mars' mid-northern latitudes and is covered by just 3 feet to 33 feet of soil. It therefore represents a vast possible resource for future astronauts exploring the Red Planet, study team members said.

"This deposit is probably more accessible than most water ice on Mars, because it is at a relatively low latitude and it lies in a flat, smooth area where landing a spacecraft would be easier than at some of the other areas with buried ice," co-author Jack Holt, of the University of Texas, Austin, said in a statement.

That's just a small portion of the article.
There's enough to make their fuel for the return trip, if anyone wants to return.
