Mars Opportunity Rover Finds Signs Of Water

NASA's Mars rover Opportunity has found bright veins of a mineral, apparently gypsum, deposited by water near the rim of Endeavour Crater. "This tells a slam-dunk story that water flowed through underground fractures in the rock," said Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, principal investigator for Opportunity. "This stuff is a fairly pure chemical deposit that formed in place right where we see it. It's the kind of thing that makes geologists jump out of their chairs." In other words, water exists on Mars in the rocks, perhaps underground and as water-ice in the polar caps. So, in some kind of way they have found life, because water is of the Spirit of God.
