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.

MOISTURE FARMERS. The water is eventually going to have to be extracted by MOISTURE FARMERS.

That's right. We are one step closer to living in a Star Wars universe.

God DAMN, science is good.

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.

Trust me, we probably get just as weird ideas, we then know how to tell which ones are weird enough to work, and which are just plain weird.
