NASA has melted some of the pure Earth Ice, it brought to Mars
and has placed some of the Martian soil in this "cup of water"

Preliminary results are:- It has the essential minerals for
growing plants. They mention Asparagus, but not Strawberries.

The soil water mixture will be further analysed in a few days
to see whether soil microbes have sprung to life, or what else has happened......Exciting.
