"I can't wait for them to start core-drilling; I want to see whats under Martian soil."

I concur. But first let's see what is in the lake under 10,000 feet of ice in Antarctica. Last I heard we wanted to try out a Europa type probe to penetrate the ice into the lake but we were concerned about biological contamination from the probe to the lake.

I agree. I'm just keep thinking about Bruce Willis and his team of ace roustabouts going into space to drill where no man has drilled before.

Seriously, I guess they are going to do some ground-radar surveys, which is great, but at some point it would be nice to scoop up a sample and get it back here to take a look at it. Or, well, put some men and a mobile lab (and some seismic test equipment) there, which is my personal preference.
