Spirit has apparently uncovered a "mucky" substance below the surface of Mars. While astronomers are not certain, some believe that this "muck" may in-fact be mud, and contain water. If it is mud, and does contain water, then the ability for humans to spend long periods of time on Mars would be enhanced greatly, as a replenish-able source of water would exist.

Also Recently in Space News US President Bush has finally set into motion plans for humans to set their eyes back to space exploration. This includes, but is not limited to, a permanent base on the Moon.
