If it is CO2 ice, it's still a good thing. The O2 can be seperated for fuel source or even air supply. Part of it can be used for plant survival and the by-product there is also breathable air.

It really depends on the base composition. That is what a lot of us are waiting for is the results of the testing.

H2O ice would mean we could possibly control the environment to establish life from this planet onto that one. It would take some genetic manipulation to be able to survive in the harsh extremes, but the end product for the future is a stepping stone to the rest of the planets, and beyond.

I envy my grandchildrens grandchildren.

I envy them too. I am 53 and grew up reading science fiction. I couldn’t get enough of it. I would give anything to live during a time when we could go to the stars.

I tell my 16 year old Stepdaughter that she will be able to visit the Moon and maybe Mars as a tourist before her life is over.

George Jetson isn’t that far away.
