# Extraterrestrial Discoveries Liquid Water Found On Mars, Lunar Embassy Rejoices By Doug Gordon | Published 2009-02-21 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-exploration-liquid-water-found-on-mars References: [whitespace.bz](http://www.whitespace.bz/ws/web/forms/pulse/PulseMainArticle.aspx?id=126) & [newscientist](http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16620-first-liquid-water-may-have-been-spotted-on-mars.html) Move over Jetsons and look out Marvin! [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-aerospace) has found [liquid water on Mars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-collection), and the rush to colonize should soon be in full swing. As soon as we figure out how to get people there without dying, anyway. When the [Phoenix lander touched down on Mars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/private-space-exploration), it found more than the scientists at NASA could ever have imagined. The water that they believe was kept liquid by perchlorate sodium in the soil is way too salty to support life, but it does make the presence of “clean” water much more likely. So I am going to beat the rush and buy my first hundred acres as soon as I figure out how. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Space Colonization:** The discovery of liquid water on Mars has created an opportunity for disruptive innovation in space colonization technology and long-term sustainability for human life on other planets. - **Planetary Resource Mining:** The discovery of liquid water on Mars can lead to the development of technology that can be used to mine planetary resources for future exploration and long-term sustainability of human life on other planets. - **Environmental Sustainability:** The discovery of liquid water on Mars provides an opportunity to focus on developing technology and practices that ensure environmental sustainability and the protection of natural resources in the extraterrestrial environment. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Space Exploration:** The discovery of liquid water on Mars presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the space exploration industry to explore new frontiers and develop new technologies that enable human colonization of other planets. - **Mining and Resource Extraction:** The discovery of liquid water on Mars could lead to the development of industries focused on mining and extract natural resources for use in space exploration and colonization. - **Sustainability and Environmental Protection:** The discovery of liquid water on Mars presents opportunities for industries to focus on developing innovative technologies and practices that promote sustainability and protect the environment in extraterrestrial environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hop-Infused Sparkling Water Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hopinfused-sparkling-water.md) - [Sustainable Alien Planet Colonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colony-concept.md) - [Off-World Molecular Data Archives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molecular-data-archive.md) - [Algae-Powered Rover Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-rover.md) - [Martian Meteorite Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sothebys-nwa.md) - [Space Exploration Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-aerospace.md) - [Mars Colonization Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortis-novonaut-amadee24.md) - [Drinking Water Home Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmospheric.md) - [Long-Term Lunar Exploration Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longterm-lunar-exploration.md)
