Scientists have discovered a reservoir of liquid water on Mars - deep in the rocky outer crust of the planet.
The findings come from a new analysis of data from Nasa’s Mars Insight Lander, which touched down on the planet back in 2018.
The lander carried a seismometer, which recorded four years’ of vibrations - Mars quakes - from deep inside the Red Planet.
Analysing those quakes - and exactly how the planet moves - revealed “seismic signals” of liquid water.
The deepest man-made hole on earth is 8 miles deep.

Would a deeper hole be easier to create on Mars due to the lower planetary mass? I would assume so.
Yeah, but the drill bit would need to be 140 million miles long just to reach Mars.
Nah just a 10 mile long pole, strong enough to break through planetary geological plates in a straight on blow, thrown really really really fast from earth.
IIRC the problem was the ambient temp that deep being too hot causing mechanical failures. It’s hard to dispose of waste heat when you have to pump it miles away.
You know who this calls for?
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, my mind immediately said “LAONG LAONG MAAAAN”
What about the Well to Hell? How else would we have 100% concrete iron-clad proof that Satan exists?
