Water on Mars!

Science Magazine published the results of soil samples taken by a robot on the surface of Mars. Guess what? 2% of the soil contains water!

"One of the most exciting results from this very first solid sample ingested by Curiosity is the high percentage of water in the soil," said Leshin. "About 2 percent of the soil on the surface of Mars is made up of water, which is a great resource, and interesting scientifically." The sample also released significant carbon dioxide, oxygen, and sulfur compounds when heated.
