It shouldn’t.
Good time to release a Martian movie
This is the coolest scientific discovery I can imagine.

How long will it be before they find some form of life?
Me, I want to meet the classic Martians: little green men with antennas on their ears.
Those tall greys with big eyes and anal probes are just soooo 1980’s.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s a bit underwhelmed.
Don’t be. Everywhere on Earth you find liquid water, no matter what temperature or pressure or how much sunlight reaches it, you find life. Now we know Mars has liquid water too.
That one’s faked! If it were real, you wouldn’t see the lander, just the demon boy and the Great and Awesome Tiger looking in the camera lens. Who do they think they’re kidding?
The Mars rover comes equipped with a selfie stick.
Finally! Canals on Mars! Percival Lowell was right all along!
And in case anyone thinks Miller is joking: He isn’t.
^ Look out, Opportunity, it’s Bigfoot!!
Just solid evidence of recent flowing water, not flowing water now. puts away bathing suit.
This is great - but far from the coolest discovery I can imagine. I can imagine quite a lot. 
Not to toot my own horn but…
Toooot! 
My college’s astronomy professor had an assistant who was convinced there was liquid water on Mars. If he’s still alive, he’s thrilled.
The question now is if there is some sort of water cycle going on.
Seems unlikely to me that it’s just the remnants of some ancient water bodies still sipping after who knows how many tens or hundreds of millions of years.
Yeah, you’re probably right. It woul…WHOA!! Actual non-NASA video from Mars!! I don’t believe it!!
From some of the interpretations, possibly more like wet mud about a centimeter deep than any sort of raging river.
As to what this says about the possibilities of life, who knows – but may not say much. This would be small amounts of very cold water that is liquid only because it’s heavily saturated in perchlorate salts, and even then its presence is intermittent. Whereas life on earth developed in warm briny oceans.
Of course this says nothing about what may have developed billions of years ago, when Mars was warmer and wetter.
Merged duplicate threads.
I’m hoping for at least some legitimate fossils, myself.
Nah, you know those always come out blurry.
