NASA has confirmed finding water on Mars with the Phoenix Mars Lander Thursday by lead scientist Peter Smith. [Video 1, Video 2 and Video 3]"Our excitement is not so much that ice is made of H2O," says Smith, the Phoenix lander's principal scientist. "It's what we're going to learn about the impurities that are associated with this ice — salts, minerals and all of the things that are going to tell us about the history and the chance that this is a habitable zone on Mars." MORE from NPR, The Arizona Daily Star, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.
