Mars needs global warming and it needs it now.

I suspect most of the water went away when Mars was struck by the large rock that ripped off half its crust.

This was highly suspected (other people might type "known") for some time. There is water ice and dry (carbon dioxide) ice on Mars' polar regions. Also, water ice is suspected of being under the ground.

I'm kind of curious if anyone knows why the moisture would migrate to the polar regions of the planet.

This should do the trick.

Terraform it. Make it habitable. All us conservatives move there.
If the liberals want to "save the Earth" then let 'em have it.
We'll take Mars!

I wonder just how long it's been since that ice was liquid water.
Just imagine if astronomer's early reports (from over a hundred years ago) of canals and seas on mars were rooted in some form of reality!

This makes certain what many science-fiction writers have thought about. Mars is the best planet in our system for human colonization. I'm not saying that it would be easy, but at least there is water there.

Water has been discovered on Mars about every month for the past three years. The problem is that NASA is on the search for life yet never sends life-finding experiments anymore since Viking. It's like the search for OBL. Once they find life, it will be over for NASA.

We need to start the Mars terraforming at once. Send nuclear generators there to start hydrolysis the water melted from the waste heat of the nuke generator into oxygen vented to the atmosphere and hydrogen burned in secondary generators. After a while the oxygen partial pressure will be enough for high altitude organisms to utilize and raise the overall atmospheric pressure enough for plants to thrive on the high carbon dioxide content. A way to bootstrap Mars into a livable planet, al beit a harsh one.
