Hi Steven! The confirmation of frozen water near the surface on Mars didn't impact the work here because scientists here were already convinced. It's just that it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt by the Phoenix Lander now.
Your other question (actually, BOTH of these questions) would be perfect for the "Ask A Mars Question" module on this page!
