what are the ramifications for us earthlings?

one of the things keeping us from attempting to travel to and land on mars is water. it's a loooong trip in both directions. food is easy-you can dehydrate and carry enough food to last-but what about water? so, if there are viable sources there, you could travel there and not have to worry about pre-shipping evian!

my son wants to go to the naval academy and become a pilot, and then go to nasa from there to be an astronaut. he said the other day 'hey, maybe i could be the first guy on mars'. i told him to go for it.
