<DIV class=Section1>I know there has been some debate about whether or not
there ever was running water on Mars and recent evidence supports this. I have
never heard any mention of actual water vapor. Then today I read an article
where it mentions water vapor in terns of how much is there, not whether or
not it exists. Has water vapor been proven to exist there, or did I miss
something? Here are the quote and the article:</DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P>"None of Spirit's astronomy images are part of the rover's primary mission,
but by taking more of them, scientists hope to learn something about the
amount of dust and water vapor in the nighttime atmosphere of Mars."</P>
