The Story: Mars is a very cold and dry planet. For many years, people asked: “Is there life on Mars?” Today, we are one step closer to the answer.
NASA scientists used a special robot to study the planet. They found big lakes of liquid water deep under the Mars rocks. This is very important because water means life.
“We are very happy,” says one scientist. “This discovery changes everything about space travel.” In the future, humans might live on Mars because of this water.
