Rusty cars on Mars

Apparently, based on recent data from Mars rovers, NASA is now concerned that there is a salt water film on the surface of Mars that can cause future rovers to rust.

This concern is not new to anyone who's ever lived in the northeast, but I guess if you spend your whole life in Pasadena, CA, it's news.
