Selective quotes from recent articles about Mars

Cryptic statements:

• active underground biosphere
• looks in places as if it has a mosslike texture
• really powerful evidence for a habitable environment
• both poles of Mars are packed with water ice

Confusing jargon that adds to the mystery:

• attention will be paid on this effort toward examination of terrestrial specimens
• radial pattern may turn out to be similar to spherical dendritic iron oxides
  

Hard hitting questions:

• Are women up to the job of exploring Mars?
• Features were left behind by tools ... or were they?
