Cohaigen! Give them AIR!!

So when are we building a Wild Waves on Mars?

...Alright, internets. You've convinced me. I volunteer three years of my time to go an a manned mission to Mars.


NASA, make it happen.

I'm thirsty now.

New pics, but not a new finding. Smears like these have been seen for years.
I'm waiting for an explanation of why they show up on North facing slopes. If this were LIQUID H2O I would think they would be on South facing (more towards the sun) slopes.
I hope NASA gets continued funding, but their PR needs to be more honest with less pandering to sensationalism.

So, why didn't they land a rover THERE!?

The area in the video is in the southern hemisphere so the north-facing slopes would be getting more sun exposure than the south-facing slopes.

Also the (NASA) title of the video is "Possible Water Flows on Warm Martian Slopes". That doesn't seem all that sensationalist. Blame the media for the hype.

Oh my god, that's not water!

Thanks, I didn't realize this was the southern hemisphere. I'm not the only one leery of NASA hype though (check the comments out):

Let's send the next one there!

The current thinking is that the first people to Mars would be making a lifetime engagement.

Though if you're (un)lucky, that might only be three years.
