Yesterday, via Hahlo on my iPhone, I saw @MarsPhoenix twitter this:
"Are you ready to celebrate? Well, get ready: We have ICE!!!!! Yes, ICE, *WATER ICE* on Mars! w00t!!! Best day ever!!"
I was happy that they’ve been able to confirm what they thought all along and accomplish what the main purpose of the mission was. They should definitely figure out a way to bring some of it back here though.
Imagine the drinks? Mars on the rocks? Martian lemonade? What else?
