Direct confirmation of earlier almost-proof as the Mars Phoenix Lander has officially “tasted” water inside its special little soil baking ovens. Scientists are now trying to determine if the water ever thaws to the point where it’s available for any sort of biological reaction. NASA has also extended funding for the mission an extra five weeks giving them a chance to expand on the fantastic results achieved so far.
Efforts to reproduce the experiment using an ez-bake oven and brownie mix were a delicious, delicious failure.
