Water on Mars absorbed like a sponge, new research suggests Source and full article: Mars: Not as dry as it seemsSummary: Two new articles have shed light on why there is, presumably, no life on Mars. Although today's Martian surface is barren, frozen and inhabitable, a trail of evidence points to a once warmer, wetter planet, where water flowed freely -- and life may have thrived. The conundrum of what happened to this water is long standing and unsolved. However, new research suggests that this water is now locked in the Martian rocks. This is image shows modern Mars (left) dry and barren, compared with the same scene over 3.5 billion years ago covered in water (right). The rocks of the surface were slowly reacting with the water, sequestering it into the Martian mantle leading to the dry, inhospitable scene shown on the left.
When searching for life, scientists first look for an element key to sustaining it: fresh water.Although today's Martian surface is barren, frozen and inhabitable, a trail of evidence points to a once warmer, wetter planet, where water flowed freely. The conundrum of what happened to this water is long standing and unsolved. However, new research published in Nature suggests that this water is now locked in the Martian rocks. Scientists at Oxford's Department of Earth Sciences, propose that the Martian surface reacted with the water and then absorbed it, increasing the rocks oxidation in the process, making the planet uninhabitable.

Maybe it did have water or maybe not. Point is that I really doubt we might ever know for certain where the water went. I don't think it will ever be able to sustain life though. It isn't a Goldilocks planet after all.
Which brings me to this question...why was US doing a one way trip to Mars for people? Marbles have vanished like that water?
