in recent decades. But it's always been believed that more water likely existed, given some of

for about four years, there are literal oceans worth of liquid water hiding deep beneath

the surface, though we'd never be able to access it given the

1:45.1

depths that which said water resides. Now, to be clear, it's not like the insight drilled into
