There May Be a Second Massive Ocean Deep Beneath the Surface Chemically bonded to minerals in the transition zone, Earth’s mantle may be rather wet

But it doesn’t cover the planet’s surface....so what’s the point...

It could be recoverable, and therefore water need not be transported to Mars for colonists.

We have perfectly good deserts here on earth that have yet to be fully populated.

Ignore the hype about water on Mars.
Its a ploy to raise funding for a manned mission.
It won't happen!
Too expensive given all the Non-Value Added oversight by unqualified NASA administrators.
Little to be gained for 10X the cost of robotic missions.

**We have perfectly good deserts here on earth that have yet to be fully populated.**
The globulleestahz have been working on that in case you hadn’t heard. Although they seem to be focused on the deserts in the USA.

Isn’t Mars soil full of Chlorine so what would happen ?

If it did cover the surface, suddenly Mars would be muddy...hey, what an idea!

Without an atmosphere what would happen if the water were on the surface?

Mars has an atmosphere, but it’s too thin to keep liquid water from boiling away. (Water boils a bit over 60,000 ft on earth; the Martian atmosphere has the same pressure as earth’s at 100,000 ft.)

I think they’re easing us into the admission that Mars has canals after all. And gondoliers.

First Arrakis, now Mars.
When will it end?
