New research reveals ancient ripples on Mars, providing compelling evidence of long-lost lakes that once existed 3.7 billion years ago.

The existence of water on Mars has long been a subject of curiosity and debate. A recently published study presents compelling evidence of ancient “wave ripples” in rocks that were shaped by Martian water and winds billions of years ago.

These ripples, imprinted on the Martian surface, speak to a time when shallow bodies of water were open to the Martian air.

      Moving sustainably? No. Moving? Probably. Sounds like the US is gearing up to make NASA launder fund SpaceX for putting humans on Mars. Probably without increasing the budget after complaining they get too much. I’m sure a round trip will be promised and have the same return success rate as ISS.
