According to a new study, Martian meteorites contain a surprising amount of hydrated minerals , which have water incorporated in their crystalline structures.

In fact, the study authors estimate that the Martian mantle currently contains between 70 and 300 parts per million of water - enough to cover the planet in liquid 660 to 3,300 feet (200 to 1,000 meters) deep.

"Basically the amount of water we're talking about is equal to or more than the amount in the upper mantle of the Earth," which contains 50 to 300 parts per million of water, said study leader Francis McCubbin , a planetary scientist at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

And if water exists today in the Martian mantle, that means the red planet likely had a lot of water in its interior all the way back to the moment the planet formed.

"We don't have to rely on sources like comets and asteroids to bring in water afterward," McCubbin said.

And if that's the case for Mars, it's probably the case for the other rocky planets - Mercury, Venus, and Earth - as well as for some large asteroids.

"Earth is not unique," McCubbin said. "We should be finding water nearly everywhere in the solar system."

I just need help. i am an orphan. i believe so much in the Asgardians. if you wanna help. beep me...  anytime.

i will keep hoping someone comes in.

Jason.

Although a disappointing and a tough decision, I have come to an understanding that i Isaiah king does not meet up to the requirements of the position I aim for, I don't feel adequate for the position either, there is another chance for me to serve Asgardia and her Citizens and this I would do, I would love my supporters to bear with me, my diploma is unavailable for now and so is a resume or form of ID, with these and other factors taken into place, I have decided to pull out from the race of an Administrative Assistant in the Ministry of Culture.

Thank you.

IT CONSULTANT by day, FICTION WRITER by night. I've always believed the future is for those who seize it. Grand Ideas start small by living tomorrow today. We are humanity at its best, but at the same time at its worst. Thus, the duality of our nature. So, in order to avoid our long history of conflict inadvertently tailing us into Space and ensuring we permit only our finest natures, we need to start this campaign of a higher consciousness early. We need to promote what i call the 'Age of Humanity' also early before we as an exploratory species take a foothold in space and make our mark in the Universe. If we succeed, no, in the end, when we do succeed, this will be for us, and for our children, and their children's sake, for we would have shed the recalcitrant ugliness of our former selves. And by so doing, would create a new palette for them. A blank slate to begin with as a Species. An exemplary future for us in the broader sense of Space and what lies in the Universe beyond.

We need to start early.

I Ayoade Ahmed Mayowa a.k.a Isaiah King wishes to represent the people of Asgardia and I would love it if the noble brothers and sisters of Asgardia can nominate me for the honourable position, I believe I am qualified as I would put my self and being into serving the men and women of Asgardia

Asgardia, the first time I heard of the plans for the first space nation, I was in major doubt, I was in the belief that the cost for such a futuristic goal won't be funded or if it was funded would lead to a nation for the rich and powerful, I'm 17 and unfortunately not yet allowed to vote or get deeply involved in the Asgardian system. The constitution of asgardia allows for the mix of all homo sapien no matter the geographical origin or political standing, I'm in great support of a state that promotes togetherness and Unity to the betterment of mankind, I hope for a future with fellow Asgardians on the space Nation

Going through the Asgardian constitution made me very interested, since I am a student studying political science, I hope to see fellow asgardians at it's launch and input the little knowledge I have gained to promote a nation founded on the aim of peace. I watch the struggle on earth and whenever the end result is calculated, it may or will eventually lead to a major war, when? This unfortunately can't be determined but if things keep going like this on earth, it is a definite occurrence.

To a nation of peace, understanding and the betterment of all mankind, Asgardia I hail thee.

阿斯加迪亚，我第一次听说第一个空间国家的计划，我有很大的疑问，我相信，这样一个未来目标的成本将不会得到资助，或者如果资助将导致一个国家对于富有和强大的，我17岁，不幸的是还没有被允许投票或深入参与Asgardian系统。灰姑娘的宪法，无论地理起源还是政治地位，都能让所有的人都混在一起，我非常支持一个促进团结一致，团结一致地改善人类状态的国家，希望与阿斯加德同胞的未来空间国家      通过阿斯加德宪法使我非常感兴趣，因为我是一个学习政治学的学生，我希望看到同学们在发布，并输入了我所获得的一些知识，以促进建立一个以和平为目标的国家。我注意到地球上的斗争，每当最终的结果被计算出来，它可能会或将最终会导致大的战争？不幸的是，不能确定，但是如果事情在地球上继续下去，这是一个确定的事情。   对于一个和平，理解和改善全人类的国家，阿斯加迪我欢迎你。
