Researchers have long suspected that Mars was once home to several rivers, lakes, and perhaps even oceans. But while they have been able to detect ice, and some salty lakes, in the planet's polar regions, finding water in other areas has proved elusive. Now, scientists have finally found evidence of a large water reservoir just a few feet below the surface of the Red Planet's Valles Marineris canyon system.

      Okay so, to all you guys who want to go to Mars, let me address some things. To be able to travel in space you either have to be Elon Musk or a astronaut. If you guys payed attention, the new rover that is going to Mars is landing there in 2023 which would mean, if you guys wanted to wait a year maybe more to go to Mars, go ahead. Another thing is that civilization would probably take over 200 years to fully have it open to the public to go back and fourth to live there. Air of course is also vital to need to live there. Not sure how or even if it’s possible to keep and atmosphere or form one but we’ll leave that up to the scientists. By the way, I am not trying to crush your guys dreams. I just see many comments about people going to Mars and I wanted to inform you guys.

        Water on mars? That's amazing it must have been frozen for so long and then turned back into water!

                  It is only 5 years until they build the spaceship and send people to Mars.

                    It’s an estimated amount, it could be longer or shorter. No one really knows because no one’s been in the future.

                    There is a little bit of oxygen on mars, but not much

                      water is H2O (hydragin and oxygen) so a little oxygen on Mars

                        But really it depends on how much water there is, because like you said "Water is H2O (hydrogen and oxygen)." depending on how much the volume of the water is there will be more oxygen. But oxygen isn't what's all in the air that we breathe. But still good theory 😉.

                          About 2~5% of Mars atmosphere is oxygen.

                        Does this mean we can live on mars now

                          Oxygen isn't what's all in the air that we breathe so I don't think so.

                            No, we can’t live on Mars until there is more water, food, and a atmosphere.

                                i think i'm going to agree with you, i would assume we could.

                                No. Not exactly. Even though Mars has water on it, it is still a gas planet, and many of those gasses are really dangerous or even toxic for us to breath in. Although, it would be really cool if we could live on mars!

                                      Moxie, or Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment absorbes gases and creates oxygen
