I found this article while searching for info about my favorite planet. Whether or not there is running water on Mars, I thought that the subject line would provoke some imaginations! :)

Since the areas were unmarked by craters, Malin and Edgett concluded that the gullies were created recently in geological terms — perhaps hundreds or thousands or millions of years ago, or even days ago, rather than billions of years ago. Malin said the absence of craters means scientists can’t determine how old most of the features are, “because the thing that we would measure to say they’re old doesn’t exist.”" Patrick Schlichtenmyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------- "Be silly.
