and this flat bedrock, the tritium. And the formation is significant due to the lattice-like mineral patterns formed by the ancient water there. And it's very important that a lot of scientists have studied the history of Mars' planet, even some of its past water resources. Currently, Curiosity will study geological fracture systems that could hold clues regarding Mars' past geological stresses or subsurface fluid movement. And this could give important information about how the planet's environment evolves, especially when it comes to the potential presence of water, which could determine the planet's habitability, even when astronauts from Earth finally get there. If there's water there, that solves a big problem. Because it means we don't have to lug water all the way from Mars, which would be very expensive. Stop it.
