Water in a warmer region of Mars greatly simplifies our ability to send manned missions
Just think, 400 years from now we’ll be drinking fancy bottled water from Mars. Or rich people will anyway.
“For a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was erroneously believed that there were canals on Mars. These were a network of long straight lines in the equatorial regions from 60° N. to 60° S. Lat. on the planet Mars. They were first described by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli during the opposition of 1877, and confirmed by later observers. Schiaparelli called these canali, which was translated into English as “canals”.
The Irish astronomer Charles E. Burton made some of the earliest drawings of straight-line features on Mars, although his drawings did not match Schiaparelli’s. By the early 20th century, improved astronomical observations revealed the “canals” to be an optical illusion, and modern high resolution mapping of the Martian surface by spacecraft shows no such features.”

I am so fascinated by the possibilities of life on Mars, forget the life in a mother’s womb headed for abortion, THIS is REAL potential here baby!
Budget season for the federal government.

"Such large return of investment, on such small investment in fact?"
Question is, without a real water cycle, how does water get back to higher elevations, especially in quantities sufficient to produce big flows?
