re: Briefing on now (10 AM Pacific). Liquid water flow.

I was hoping for some pictures of actual flowing or standing water, but I'll take what I can get.

And people, donâ€™t forget that there are a few spots on Mars, like deep in Hellas, where temperatures and pressure sometime get high enough for liquid water to exist. Of course, in the dry air, it would quickly evaporate.

        No, news releases from Mars Express are not timed to bad news from Iraq - E.P. - 12/8/2006 3:00:51 AM
        
        Just wondering: what news releases do NOT coincide with the press reporting bad news from Iraq? (n/t) - TB - 12/8/2006 10:26:20 PM
