Total Recall (1990) is totally real

New measurements of Mars' south polar region indicate extensive frozen water. The polar region contains enough frozen water to cover the whole planet in a liquid layer approximately 11 meters (36 feet) deep. A joint NASA-Italian Space Agency instrument on the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft provided these data.

We can totally terraform this stuff. (And also dump our carbon there =P).

Now I'm wondering if the moon has enough water ice to make a moon base have all their water and fuel needs taken care of.
