It would be nearly impossible for water to exist as anything but a vapor there, and we're told that the water content of the Martian atmosphere has been measured at something like 210 ppm. Pretty dry!

Agreed. Its the same reason why I don't believe the accounts of the American Revolutionary War. The idea of people in this country fighting a battle with muskets and riding horses everywhere is absurd. If there was such a battle they would have used automatic weapons and driven around in jeeps and off road vehicles. Things have always been the same as they are now and have never changed. The same must be true on Mars. Water can't exist there now, so it never could have.

Wow, thank goodness. For a while there, I thought that picture I have of George Washington hangin' 5 crossing the deleware on a Hobie board was a fake. Thank goodness, you have straightened it out.
