John Batchelor and I welcomed Dr. Jack Wilson to the program to discuss his team’s finding of water ice at the Martian equator by enhancing older photos taken from the Mars Odyssey mission around 15 years ago.  Dr. Wilson explained how they enhanced the photos to reduce the distance to Mars for the imaging and said that with further work, they can enhance images even more.  He explained theories on how the water got from the polar regions of Mars to the equatorial regions given that Mars was probably tilted much more earlier on than it is now.  He talked about water being primordial and throughout the solar system.  We also discussed what it might mean for future Mars settlements that might want to be located around the equator given that the first meter and maybe more might be an ocean.  Dr. Wilson had much more to say in this double segment of Hotel Mars.
