Post the results please? From what I heard nasa found salts that might indicate water was present not water itself.

It's all a ploy into making us believe there are aliens who will subsequently invade earth.

I'd love to be around when they find life beyond earth.

Will it have be code based like dna or something completely different

Good god, fo you know what hydrated means. It means it's detected h2o in the salts, you know same sort of thing as sea water.

The new study pairs HiRISE observations with mineral mapping by MRO's Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM).

The spectrometer observations show signatures of hydrated salts at multiple RSL locations, but only when the dark features were relatively wide. When the researchers looked at the same locations and RSL weren't as extensive, they detected no hydrated salt.

And there maybe far more places that exhibit this behaviour but due to orbit and resolution of only about 2meters they may not show up.
