- There is a surprising amount of water bound up in the soil of Mars - "If you think about a cubic foot of this dirt and you just heat it a little bit - a few hundred degrees - you'll actually get off about two pints of water" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24287207 7 comments technology
- Mars rover Curiosity finds that Mars soil holds a surprising amount of water: about 2% by weight. This means that we could extract two pints (two standard gym bottles) from each cubic foot of soil, although it does require heating the soil substantially -- 835°C was reached in the study. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24287207 7 comments worldnews
