If there is abundant water in some form on Mars then we can send equipment that can convert it to drinking water, hydrogen fuel and oxygen.
With water we can grow food there, with hydrogen and oxygen we can power vehicles and will have fuel for returning spacecraft.
Water is the thing we need there that we cannot take with us.
Making electricity on Mars is easy, solar and nuclear...but water needs to be found there waiting for us.
But i thought the science was settled about liquid water on Mars? :)
Gene Hunt’s Cortina maybe leaking some coolant.
With the millions spent on this Mars rover, why didn’t it carry a microscope to examine anything it dug up?

Uh huh.
There’s no life on Mars until Martin the Martian snaps a selfie with the rover
Jerry Brown! California is saved!
I believe this is a misattribution ( to Curiosity ) of an announcement based on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery. I saw an article with the correctly attributed orbital image ( Curiosity is on the ground, of course, ) which contained all the same verbiage about “brine” etc.
