Mars when water was abundant, the Noachian Period 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago, or perhaps less, much less.

Perhaps something awaits that is of greater value than oil or water...

My thoughts on Mars: 1.) Mars should make us all very very thankful for all those wonderful greenhouse gasses that give us our thick beautiful life sustaining atmosphere that liberals are always trying to get rid of. 2.) It would be awesome if we could redirect a giant watery comet into a Martian ice cap 3.) Martian soil is allegedly comprised of vast amounts of highly reactive superoxides (vast quantities of Oxygen IOW) and superoxides are known to release oxygen in the presence of H2O as in the case of potassium superoxide found on submarines and in certain oxygen tanks.

Without a viable magnetosphere, any hope of terraforming mars is futile.
