Landed and orbital platforms continue to show that Mars has had a diverse geologic history rich in information about past fluvial, lacustrine, and hydrothermal environments. For example, Spirit rover's wheels broke through a thin soil crust and exposed sands enriched in hydrothermal sulfates. The soil crust is enriched in relatively insoluble minerals, indicating ongoing aqueous leaching and transport of soluble species into the subsurface. Opportunity continued to explore the ancient reworked lake beds in Meridiani Planum and is currently driving toward the rim of the Noachian-aged Endeavour crater. CRISM observations show that the rim exposes clay minerals and hydrated sulfates unlike those found thus far by Opportunity are exposed nearby. These examples, and others, will be used to illustrate the compelling science associated with past wet environments and enhanced habitability potential of Mars as compared to many solar system objects.
