6 miles? That would be like 3x the deepest mine we have dug on earth? Would the water be steam at that depth?The latest water on Mars news. Detected the same way we find groundwater, oil, etc on Earth, via seismic waves.
It's 6+ miles underground though.

Mars is only 1/3rd the size of Earth and its presumed the core isn't molten like Earth's, so at depths it may not be as hot as Earth.
However, water that deep still leaves open the possibility of large water reserves closer to the surface

I had no idea Mars lacked a Molten Core. No T1 gear for them.

Don't need to mine water. We've got wells almost 8 miles deep already.

It's why Mars doesn't have a magnetic field, and its atmosphere evaporated.

Extracting frozen water from the bottom of that thing is a whole different question, but the drilling is doable.

It's been hypothesized that Earth wouldn't have a liquid metal core anymore if not for the moon - specifically, the gravitational interplay between the Earth and the moon helps ensure the core stays liquid and more importantly, magnetized.
