Big news coming from NASA this week, as scientists are seemingly confident that the Phoenix Mars Lander discovered ice. Evidently, it melted after being exposed to the really cold conditions of the Mars atmosphere? Is that even possible?

My uneducated skepticism aside, this is pretty fantastic news for the longevity of our culture and general existence. Now when we are finished destroying the Earth or when Killface throws the switch on the Annihilatrix again and this time the couplings don’t melt, whichever catastrophic event comes first, we can just hit the button on the Salvationatrix and push Mars a bit closer to the Sun. Then a bit of science happens, and “BOOSH!“, we’ve got a fully functional planet.
