Mars water: Liquid water reservoirs found under Martian crust
www.bbc.com
Studies of quakes detected from the planet's surface found it in the planet's rocky outer crust.

Scientists have discovered a reservoir of liquid water on Mars - deep in the rocky outer crust of the planet.

The findings come from a new analysis of data from Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander, which touched down on the planet back in 2018.

The lander carried a seismometer, which recorded four years’ of vibrations - Mars quakes - from deep inside the Red Planet.

Analysing those quakes - and exactly how the planet moves - revealed “seismic signals” of liquid water.

    Yeah, but do they have hookers with three breasts? Otherwise, I’m not going.

      Colonizing Mars exposed the colonists to mutagenic radiation, causing people born on Mars to have birth defects (and psychic abilities). They weren’t native Martians, so the three booby lady won’t exist until we send people there.

      Fun fact, the Earth has a magnetosphere that protects us from radiation, and Mars does not. So it is very likely that Martian colonists would experience higher rates of cancer, birth defects, and sterility even with physical shielding.

      But also, even if a human were to grow a third booby, it would probably be above or below one of the normal boobies, along a vertical line called the “milk line.” A third medial booby is, medically speaking, unlikely.

        If anyone’s curious, this is called “polythelia” or “supernumerary nipple” (SFW - seriously). Per the wiki, it’s WAY more common than you’d probably expect, but they tend to go underreported bc people think they’re just a mole.

      Why a third boob when you could have a full Kuato?

      To me personally, settling mars has nothing to do with colonialism, or capitalism, or hookers and blackjack. It’s about the fact that humanity is like a steam engine, and somebody threw too much coal into that thing. Now it’s cooking hot, and one way to keep it from exploding is to “release steam” (in a metaphorical sense). That means, settling off to some other planet.

    Is it really world news if it didn’t happen on this world?

        That’s generally what “world” means

            It’s possible to use it to refer to a non-planet region (bigger or smaller) in a more general sense, but I wouldn’t say that’s the most common usage.

            I guess it’s like german “Realität”/“Wirklichkeit” (both meaning reality).

            I understand “Realität” (reality) to mean something “real”, like something touchable. Language, and literature are not “real” to me. They’re “wirklich”, but not “real”.

    The analysis revealed reservoirs of water at depths of about six to 12 miles (10 to 20km) in the Martian crust.

    Oh great. Now the big corps can remove all the water and sell it to the people, at a massive profit ofc.

    Capitalism wins again. \O/
