It can't be water -- they already know it's abundant. It's not likely to be life, because life would be microbial, and I'm not sure they have the equipment to detect that on the surface yet. So...what do you think?

Whatever it is, I'm excited and will be watching!

It may be where Mars candy bars originated SN Greg Wright :-)
I expect it may be timed with an IPO to announce a major government-commercial partnership to build a snack bar with vending machines of Mars products :-)
Greek Ares versus Roman Mars - after all what is a name?

Capt Seid Waddell I might be wrong Captain, but I think they understand that pretty well -- low gravity combined with no magnetosphere (that would mitigate the solar winds) AND constant impacts blowing it out into space (abetted by the lower gravity).
