  1. Yeah, they have found that one of Mars's moons had water on it. So far the only other planet known to have water on it (after Earth)


  2. Mars has Ancient Lava Tubes like here on Earth, some people has been discussing ways of turning those Lava Tubes into long duration habitats for early missions to Mars.  

  3. Water has been known to exist in frozen form on Mars for decades.  Water has been known to exist in cloud form for years.

    Spirit and Opportunity have observed meteor showers, dust devils, meteorites, the craters, and lots more.

    Check out the podcast by Dr. Nathalie Cabrol on the link.  She talks about many, many of the discoveries.  If the talk is long, it's because there are many, many discoveries.

    The other shows on the page are also fabulous.

    <edit>

    Let me just say for the record that water has been found on all the planets.  Mercury has some in polar craters, and water ions were recently detected in the Mercury exosphere by MESSENGER.  Venus has water vapor in it's atmosphere.  Earth is all wet.  Mars has been known to have water ice (as well as dry ice - CO2) for decades. Ceres has an ocean. Jupiter has the largest ocean of water in the solar system.  Saturn has water.  Uranus and Neptune have water.  Pluto has it.  Additionally many moons have water.  Water is common not only in this solar system, but in gas clouds forming solar systems, and in dust rings around mature stars, and so on.
