Mars - Proof of Liquid Water Found On Red Planet

NASA didn't need the starship Enterprise, nor Science Officer Spock to make the fascinating discovery it shared with the world today.  Liquid water is present and flowing on the red planet.

In Star Trek: Generations, we learn that Captain Picard's ancestors were among the first to settle Mars and establish Martian colonies. Now that NASA has confirmed water on Mars, it's only a matter of time to see if they can discover lifeforms - which would be using the precious H2O.  John M. Grunsfeld, NASA's associate administrator for science, told the New York Times, "I can’t imagine that it won’t be a high priority with the scientific community.”, who said a mission in the 2020s could carry experiments to look directly for life.
