I saw this mentioned at a National Geographic lecture series. At first I thought, Wow, that's not much water. Then I did the math on the size of that seemingly small sphere. That Sphere is mind blowing-ly enormous. Representing it like this is misleading. If they did something like placing it over the North American continent then told you it would be 100 miles deep, You'd, be saying Dayum we have too much water. (I made up the 100 miles, but you get my point.)

In reply to spin_out:
Same graphic compared to the amount of water on Europa. I would assume that means Europa is, basically, a large ball of ice.

There are a bunch of these. Some are funny, some are insulting and some are just wrong.

Cleaver Rob. The lecture series was about life in the universe, and that led to water in the solar system.
So, its importing water from Titan when it gets bad here, right?
