The discovery of water on Mars is a lot like the discovery of America. Both were done many times by many different people. In both cases many of the ‘discoveries’ were either fictitious or difficult to verify. Regarding the discovery of America, a grammar school teacher of mine once pointed out that Columbus was the effective discoverer of America. After he did it, people believed it was so. More importantly, people began to act on the basis of his discovery.
