Mars might be known as the red planet, but it seems it’s hiding a blue secret deep beneath its surface. Thanks to data from NASA’s retired InSight mission, scientists have uncovered what could be an underground ocean, trapped miles beneath the Martian crust. Imagine a planet-wide swimming pool, only 12 miles deep and a bit harder to access. This discovery not only deepens our understanding of Mars’ geological history but also teases the possibility that life might be lurking in these hidden waters. The question is, how do we get to it? Pack your drills, astronauts – this mission might be a little more than skin deep!
