Dark streaks on Mars's surface may indicate liquid water on the barren planet, the National Aeronautics and Space Association (NASA) revealed Monday.
“We now know Mars was once a planet very much like Earth with warm salty seas and fresh water lakes,” Jim Green, NASA's planetary science director, stated. “But something has happened to Mars, it lost its water.”
But recent photos from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show long, dark streaks - some as long as 100m - which scientists believe could be a live source of flowing water - and, just maybe, could prove the existence of life (or microbes) on the barren planet.
Researchers still are mystified at the water's source, or why - and how - the water is still flowing.
"Something is hydrating these salts, and it appears to be these streaks that come and go with the seasons," Lujendra Ojha, a researcher from Georgia Tech involved with the Mars project, stated to ABC News. The streaks only appear when Mars's surface reaches above -23C ( F)

Water has not been found on Mars.
They sure those long dark streaks aren’t evidence of liquid running down Chris Matthews’ pants?
Mars bleeds water, NASA wants congress to bleed money for their next budget..

The question is why it wouldn’t still have surface water frozen at the poles at least.
Perhaps there is no life o Mars because God didn’t want to put any there.
naaahhhhh

‘’But something has happened to Mars, it lost its water.’’
It sounds like California. Maybe Mars, like California, was overrun by a deadly species of environmentalists who made it unlivable.
NASA didn’t “find” jack sh!t. They have published a wish.

We need to put all of the EPA folks into a rocket ship and send them to Mars to investigate this and to set up their regulations to control “the waters of Mars.”

We need to spend more money on NASA and exploring Mars.
There are quite a few reasons why. Water would certainly one of them but it is more for the minerals that could be contained there.
There is nothing wrong with science and investigating the possibilities.
