Water on Mars!

Scientists are puzzled about Mars. Was Mars wet? Some minerals have proof that water must have been on Mars for two billion years after it existed. NASA has been watching Mars very carefully. They found Opal and other similar minerals. Opal is a type of mineral that requires water. Life needs water, it is what over 90% of our body is made of. If there was water on Mars, then there was a high chance there was life on Mars. It is very exciting that there could have been life on Mars! Source; NYT

Very interesting to know. However, just because our teacher doesn't worry about them very much, it doesn't mean you shouldn't check for "be" verbs. 8/9 of your sentences use them.

Geez Kiran, what a downer! Logan, I thought that was a very interesting thing to know! The thought of life other then us...
It makes Earthlings sound very egocentric... like the whole world revolves around us... I guess that's kind of true though if you think about it!
