Ninjzz, way to be short sighted.

Not to mention how fucking amazing it is that we (America) have put a man-made machine on another fucking planet.

^Hate to burst your bubble but the American space program was jump started by Nazis. Werner Von Braun and his buddies and all those lovely A2 missiles you got away with after WWII. The `All American` missiles (like Vanguard) went Phut!

^Ninjzz^ FYI

For future missions, the confirmation of water ice on the planet is incredibly important.

Water is heavy and difficult to transport, but for astronauts to set foot on Mars and to establish a base there, as Nasa hopes they will, will require water for them to survive.

Instead of carrying water to the planet in their spacecraft, astronauts may be able to purify water from the ice beneath the soil and use that.

It could provide significant benefits and free up vital space on the first human missions for other equipment and supplies.

So even if the ice on Mars has not supported life on the planet in the past, it certainly could in the future.
