NASA rover spots proof that Mars hosted more than just lakes

The car-sized Curiosity rover has spotted evidence of once quite hospitable environs on Mars.

As shown in the imagery below, the NASA robot investigated dried-up lake beds and captured views of ripple formations on their ancient shorelines. Like on Earth, these ripples were almost certainly formed by small waves on open-air (not ice-covered) lakes, planetary scientists say. It provides evidence that Mars was warm, wet, and habitable at a time some research suggests the planet started cooling and transforming into an extremely dry and frigid desert.

I'm glad Elon Musk the U.S.  is pushing to go to Mars.  While it's not a place I think anyone would want to live at, it does present unique challenges and opportunities to learn.  I eat way too many microwaved meals, if our desire to explore space hadn't given us the microwave I'd have starved to death a long time ago!
