Red Salt Lick
It appears that a big chunk of Mars may be covered in good ol' table salt. While not surprising on the face of it (it is, after all, what you'd expect if huge amounts of water slowly evaporated away), it does provide even more confirmation of liquid water some time in that planet's past.
Imagine the waves on that planet then!

Their big plant in the Utah Salt Flats is visible from I-80, so 'they have the tools, they have the talent'...
