Mars Once 'Drenched with Water,' NASA Says
Tue Mar 2, 2004 02:13 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mars was once "drenched with water," so much that life could easily have existed there, NASA said on Tuesday.

The robot explorer Opportunity has seen clear evidence of the main goal of Mars exploration -- that water once flowed or pooled on the Red Planet's surface.

"Opportunity has landed in an area of Mars where liquid water once drenched the surface," NASA associate administrator Ed Weiler told a news conference. "Moreover, this area would have been good habitable environment."

I bet our ancestors came from there but we tried to leave no trace about it

yeah, it's like that one mars movie. we were all martians at one time and our planet was getting screwed so we said, leave, an came to earth, but brought all our water with. and the greater gravity shortened us and the oxygen made is really dumb and we had to work ourselves back up to where we are today and eventually we will have to switch planets again.

There actually is fairly good evidence our "ancestors", microbial ones that is, may have came from mars.They found a meteorite, that came from mars, which may have microbial fossils(still being debated).That meteorite hit earth about 3 billion years ago, right around the time life started to appear here.

I thought they determined that those were microbes from earth after it landed?
