Many people wonders where went Mars water. I tell you, it went to the Sun, where else?
And how come?..
When Mars was warm, water evaporated, and escaped because of low gravity, then it was attracted by the Sun. That is why more than 90% of it is, or rather, it would be on the Sun if its temperature would not be so high as to split water apart into H and O. In its way to the Sun, some water must have fallen onto the Earth. And that is why, some times,our water tastes a little bit like Mars, doesn´t it. Nowadays, only less than 9% water remains in Mars.

Couldnt we build a viable dome on top of the ice and create our own atmosphere thru the melt process? Obviously, now that we know there is ice, wouldnt a game plan have been brought forth to colonize at least a small portion of this world?
I mean, we can get there, obviously.
Where would we be if the explorers and inventors of history said "oh to much risk, not going to do it". I find this time of history to be troubling as we have the ability to shape the destiny of the human race and we sit back pondering the risk and come up with excuses.
