So they've found that there's water in Martian soil, but that it'll take some processing to actually get to it. Well, that'll be handy once we get up there and start to HOLY SHIT WAIT A SECOND.

The first image that came into my head at that was Donald Duck trying to carry Sonja Henie's ice-block autograph as it melts. My second was of the Futurama solution to global warming.

This is why I am not in charge of going to Mars.
