Immense ice deposits found at south pole of Mars

By Will Dunham Thu Mar 15, 3:00 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A spacecraft orbiting Mars has scanned huge deposits of water ice at its south pole so plentiful they would blanket the planet in 36 feet of water if they were liquid, scientists said on Thursday.

The scientists used a joint
NASA-Italian Space Agency radar instrument on the European Space Agency Mars Express spacecraft to gauge the thickness and volume of ice deposits at the Martian south pole covering an area larger than Texas.

The deposits, up to 2.3 miles thick, are under a polar cap of white frozen carbon dioxide and water, and appear to be composed of at least 90 percent frozen water, with dust mixed in, according to findings published in the journal Science.

Luckily the eyes bugging out of your head is completely reversible if you create an instant atmosphere by melting an ice cap.

Damn. Paul Verhoeven is a fucking genius.

Stupid thread. Now I've got to bust out my Total Recall VCD and watch it.
