For years NASA scientists have gathered clues and evidence to form a picture of what they thought was once on the surface of Mars. Current tests aboard NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander have now identified water in a soil samples. The lander's robotic arm delivered the sample last week to an instrument that identifies vapors produced by the heating of samples. This marks the first time Martian water has been “touched” and “tasted”. There is also speculation that more significant news is to come.<\/p>\n
