Carbon Dioxide Reservoirs

Due to calculations involving the likely amount of water and carbon dioxide once present on Mars' surface, and the amount that could have been stripped away by solar wind, scientists theorize that there should be large water and carbon dioxide reservoirs somewhere on Mars (they're hoping right beneath the surface). This would be a good thing for both colonization and in regards to the CO2, possibly heating up Mars with the release of this greenhouse gas. Of course, if there's water, there might be life. ]

And while finding articles, I came across a The Onion article concerning the Mars rover Spirit. It's actually pretty funny.
