When NASA eventually sends humans to Mars — a mission that might not take place for another decade or more — there’s a good chance they’ll be targeting a region of the planet where water ice is readily available. With that in mind, it makes sense for NASA to figure out what locations on the Red Planet have the most ice.
Now, a new research effort using a pair of high-tech NASA machines has revealed a wealth of water ice hiding just below the surface across a fairly large swath of the planet. The ice is so close to the surface that the researchers say it could be easily accessed with simple tools.
