Mars is Bone Dry
Spiky Probe On Phoenix Raises Vapor Quandary
Key Excerpts:
"A fork-like conductivity probe has sensed humidity rising and falling beside NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, but when stuck into the ground, its measurements so far indicate soil that is thoroughly and perplexingly dry."
"All the measurements we've made so far are consistent with extremely dry soil. There are no indications of thin films of moisture, and this is puzzling."
Somehow, I suspect we won't organics either.
