Yes, Khronos, water was a top secret issue in the years of the Apollo missions...even some of the images that shows water were classified!!! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Big deal if it was water. 'Just to state what should be the obvious - H20 only is beneficial to life under certain variables right?
So - if you had a 2 billion or hypothetical 5 billion year old "ice cube", what would that prove? "If" the water was never in actuality a desired temperature, how does that lend?
Quoted:
" Nasa broadcast the final moments of the drama, filmed by the LCROSS spacecraft, live on its website - but the dramatic explosion that was predicted failed to materialise. The only evidence of an impact was a small “thermal signature†picked up by the LCROSS probe’s infra-red camera.
Bemused experts commenting live on the mission continued to be upbeat. One said: “All the indications are that the instruments were working, and no matter what we find, it’s going to be important.â€
The webcast images of the crater loomed larger and larger as the satellite approached on its collision course, but still showed no sign of debris.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all the elements as important as water in the research - if the hypothetical climate can't be traced beyond aeons/eons?
