Mars Express to deploy 'divining rod' at last

I am really looking forward to the results from this:

The Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) instrument consists of three long fibreglass tubes strung with wires that will bounce radio waves off the planet. Some waves will penetrate the surface – potentially revealing oases of water, in liquid or ice form – lurking a few kilometres underground.

What’s the betting that they will find alot of water? And don’t forget, NASA launch a probe to Mars, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, later this Summer.
