Can you get a drink on Mars?

Popular Science offers a photo tour of Mars — or at least Utah's version of it. The Mars Desert Research Station near Hanksville allows volunteer nerds to simulate working in a Martian habitat to prepare for human missions to the Red Planet. PopSci's Laurie Schmidt writes:
Looking out the portal-style window on Level 2 of the Hab, it's not hard to imagine that outside lies the desolate and lonely landscape and surface of the real Mars.

Don't tell Wattups or he will enact legislative prohibting any kind of "drinking" on Mars. What a jackass.

I'd rather look out of my porthole and see a landscape like that instead of my neighbor's pile of trash and junk strewn about.

Maybe Waduppps and his brethren can colonize Mars, and leave the rest of us alone (tho Martians might be heathens).
