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."
