No I have not because the discovery of saline waters leaving streaky trails in crater gullies is several years old (15 IIRC) and we know all this already. This press conference is just a higher profile rehash of what was already known about. Saline (thus having a lower freezing point) water with the salts originating from the Martian regolith was the cause then and it is the same cause now, i.e. no change and no new knowledge.





Clearly just about 12 inches or so! Not too impressive in the grand scale of things.
