Mars Express' Remarkable Discovery
from Stage Zero Studio with Wil Waldon · host Frontier AI Labs
The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter has potentially identified enormous ice water deposits beneath the Martian surface. Located at the Red Planet's equator, these deposits are estimated to be about 3.7 kilometers thick. If melted, they could cover Mars with a water layer approximately two meters deep or fill Earth's Red Sea. This revelation is reshaping our perception of Mars, suggesting a past where glaciers, lakes, and river channels were prevalent. https://clubelon.supercast.com
