Paving the way for an Ice-Pirates-esque future:

Nasa's new robotic craft on Mars may be resting on a large patch of ice.

The latest images sent to Earth reveal tantalising glimpses of what looks like frozen water.

Scientists think the Phoenix Mars lander's descent engine may have blown away a layer of dirt, exposing the ice.

I am officially tantalised.

Ice means water, and water means...life.

This is an interesting development. We just have to see if its ice
(frozen water). Then the world will wait for the life on Mars news.

Good stuff Critical Todd.
