"a whole planet flooded....unheard of!!!"

There has been speculation that it has happened here in the past and speculation that it could happen in the future (Water World the movie).
Still I hope there is as it fits the colonization plans .... or bottled Mars water .. when you hear the cost of desalinator plants it may be cheaper to get it from Mars .... if the findings prove correct (and to prove them correct we need a mission carrying a bucket) that leaves Earth a little less unique I guess.
