I bet that water is so refreshing!


From what I've heard they say the water is extreamly salty. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to drink that water :P

It's EXTREMELY salty, far higher than Earth's oceans.  So no, you would NOT want to drink it.  Plus, while it's extremely unlikely that any life exists in this water (or that it doesn't for very long, due to lack of atmosphere and constant exposure to solar radiation), we do know there are examples of bacteria on Earth with extreme resistance to radiation (which lends credence to the theory that life on Earth was spawned via panspermia), so it's plausible to assume some organisms can survive the short period of time these water flows are active.  We've no idea what such life could do to us...and I doubt anyone wants to be the guinea pig.
