Without an atmosphere what would happen if the water were on the surface?If you put a glass of water in a vacuum chamber and lower the atmospheric pressure, the water will boil away, regardless of the temperature.

I assume our government plans to tax it. I guess they will send Elon Musk the bill since he is the loudest proponent of travel to Mars.

agree. the trick is to make desalination cheap enough to farm any desert on earth.
the way you do that is to develop desalination plants for mars.

On Monday, researchers in the US revealed they had seen seismic signals indicating a water reservoir buried deep below the crust. In terms of volume, it is not so much a puddle but an infinity pool, enough to cover the entire planet with an ocean at least one kilometre deep.

Yup! What Campion said. If humans are to live there, ultimately frozen nitrogen and oxygen from the outer solar system will have to be literally bagged up and delivered to the Martian surface. I'm not a fan of the "solar wind would strip the atmosphere" hypothesis, but even those who are note that, at Mars' distance from the Sun, it would take at least 100,000 years to strip it.
