Huge news from the Red Planet

[hugh jass]

For Bush, it's a surprise no matter how many times he's briefed, though. he must be thinking "bath tub duckies" when he hears "water".

hahahahaha

This thread makes me lol...

But srsly, I am very interested to hear what this discovery is. We all know it's not water, because they already announce it. I'm with Nitro, it must be some kind of evidence of microbial life.

As soon as they breif the Bush, we'll get the watered down, safe for public consumption information on that MECA found.

I'd love it if you jumped into one of the discussions.

Woah friend, why are you in such a quandary? I choose to add years to my life by not getting into an unwinnable discussion with people who have their own valid reasons to disagree with me. ;) I hope were still friends. I didnt know my comment would ruffle so many feathers, that wasnt the intention. Also the closet and lightly veiled racism that goes on here on r3v got old fucking years ago but I continue to eat it.

They found a transformer.

"A full-circle, color panorama of Phoenix's surroundings also has been completed by the spacecraft."

They learned something from the movie, no transformer is going to sneak up on it.

So did it get revealed yet or what?

[Farbin Kaiber]

Late Aug. or early Sept.

+1. I'd shit rocks if that were actually true :-P

[E30Kaiser]

I would think they would just curb stomp our probe and rovers. That or try and anal probe them.

[Huff]

Maybe it's quite the opposite.. Maybe no life at all could have ever existed on Mars and they're letting the white house know as to not lose any funding.

I just saw this article..

SWEET.

Red planet is one huge fire work. Stuff they found is an explosive. WOOOO-HOOOO.

Maybe next July 4th. Or we can make that ball drop on New Years eve.

[Farbin Kaiber]

interesting news.

This just out:

NASA officials' consensus view is that the presence of perchlorate "probably comes down as a positive rather than a negative" in terms of the possibility of life on Mars, said Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson, the principal investigator for the Phoenix mission.
