Nice article - have you considered a good article nomination for it? I think it would pass if it had more secondary sources - it relies too heavily on primary sources. RockMagnetist (talk) 16:00, 25 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Article is missing perchlorates

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

From the Phoenix lander article:

"Mars soil contains perchlorate (ClO
₄) and thus may not be as life-friendly as thought earlier.^[1]^[2] The presence of almost 0.5% perchlorates in the soil was an unexpected finding with broad implications.^[3] " -Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 00:19, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
