Sorry I left you guys wondering about Mars water. I believe the Mars surface structure is a lot different than Earth’s surface material, duh
Those boys at NASA should just drawn them a picture of the surface water exchange and the answer would be obvious. The short answer is any liquid film on the surface would be very transitory and of very very short duration under different conditions than they have had, such as the instant of frost or water snow phase change.
Image 1- This is a diagram of the surface make-up The blue line#1 is the permafrost layer. On Mars it is several centimeters below the surface and may be broken and a lot lower in other locations. The brown line#2 is the surface. In between we have a large area of porous dry surface material. The thin blue line#4 moisture exchange from the ice layer, “Temperature dependent.”
The Surface of Earth does not have this layer of dust like Mars. Trying to obtain the same results with different parameters is the definition of insanity. The sun does beat on the surface and would dry it out in a hurry. When they push the instrument in the ground we get a gas release and the natural state has already been changed. Hort showed us this in Image 2.
