"It is with great pride and a lot of joy that I announce today that we have found proof
that this hard bright material is really water ice and not some other substance," said Phoenix Principal Investigator
Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson, during a Friday news briefing to announce the confirmation of water ice.
"The truth we're looking for is not just looking at ice. It is in finding out the minerals, chemicals and hopefully the organic materials
associated with these discoveries," said Smith

By the way a few days ago maybe up to 10 days ago, I read that if you wanted to go to Mars, and there will be possible to grow vegetables on that planet, you really need to love asparagus because the soil is brilliant for that thing to grow there...
When I read that I laughed my bottom off, hahahaha

So, does that mean you're half the woman you used to be?
Actually, they said vegetables likely *wouldn't* grow in the Martian soil, because there's no "humus" e.g., decayed vegetation to enable plant growth.

Yeah, and better bring some books to read too, as there is no internet on there, and the travel is quite long, 6 months going, 6 months returning, and there are no supermakets out there so I need to bring some food
