  • It's funny that this is your last video before NASA found water on MARS! What is the atmosphere like at the Spitzer Science Center? You guys must be celebrating as well congrats. Maybe IR2 can go to Mars now and do some lifeform domination.

  • We're obviously very happy for the Phoenix team (one of our writers splits her time on that mission occasionally), but not really all that surprised. The signs have all pointed to water for some time. It's nice to finally have confirmation, though.

  • Is it possible that the water can have bacteria in it?

  • It's possible, but Phoenix doesn't have equipment that can give us a definite answer. Future missions will carry experiments that will look for direct evidence of life.

  • so theres water there but is there any kind of life? well there must be.. but you must understand that life doesnt have to happen just like it did with the humans. sorry to kind of sound like a jerk but life doesnt evolve just like humans or fish or whatever did. space is so big and with so many possibilites.

  • lol

  • Yeah, very good.

  • Why don't they make TV shows like this? I always like this videos.
