Original Message Washington: NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has discovered water during its first sample analysis of the Red planet's surface.

The first scoop of soil analysed by Curiosity in its laboratory revealed that fine materials on the surface of the planet contain several per cent water by weight.

The sample also released significant carbon dioxide, oxygen and sulphur compounds when heated, NASA said.

"One of the most exciting results from this very first solid sample ingested by Curiosity is the high percentage of water in the soil," said Laurie Leshin, dean of the School Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

You can bet we are about to send people to Mars...
