NASA: Liquid water once on Mars Evidence red planet was once 'soaking wet' By Marsha Walton CNN Tuesday, March 2, 2004 Posted: 2:30 PM EST (1930 GMT) Opportunity has used the same tools as a human field geologist would to determine the chemical contents of a rock outcrop near its landing site. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CNN) -- Mission accomplished. NASA scientists say the Mars rovers have found what they were looking for: Hard evidence that the red planet was once "soaking wet." "We have concluded the rocks here were once soaked in liquid water," said Steve Squyres of Cornell University. He's the principal investigator for the science instruments on Opportunity and its twin rover, Spirit. "The second question we've tried to answer: Were these rocks altered by liquid water? We believe definitively, yes," said Squyres. Squyres and other NASA officials made the announcement at NASA headquarters in Washington, after several days of giving tantalizing hints that something significant had been discovered.
