Ice, Ice, Baby

Ice on Mars that is: this is good news for potential trips to Mars and potential colonization of Mars in the future. We need ice so we can melt it and drink the water or maybe fuel some stuff (hydrogen-wise...) And if you've read Kim Stanley Robinson- and if you haven't you should (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars) then it's got implications for future terraforming efforts- (melt the ice and thicken the atmosphere up some.)

But ice. That's cool.
