Details of a new study from UC Davies
Cracks and fins in the sand in an American desert look very similar to features seen on Mars and may indicate the recent presence of water at the surface

Well, yes, another one of the scores (hundreds?) of hints of hope that Mars afficionados cast out every couple of weeks to continue to try and drum up support for a manned mission.
I want a manned mission as much as the next guy, but I dont need water hype to sustain my interest.
Here's what we'll eventually find on Mars: Several feet under ground microbes and fossiles of microbes will be found--and nothing more complicated. And they'll essentially be variations of what has been found on Earth--because they probably all came from the same place--from comets that seem to seed the solar system and, probably, the rest of the galaxy. Only on earth (in this galaxy) have the microbes taken root and had enough time and climatic stability to evolve into complex animals

What has that got to do with this paper? Neither the news story nor the paper it's based on mentions manned missions. Have actually read either of them?
