Big News From Mars? Rover Scientists Mum For Now
Big News From Mars? Rover Scientists Mum For Now
Scientists working on NASA's six-wheeled rover on Mars have a problem. But it's a good problem. They have some exciting new results from one of the rover's instruments. On the one hand, they'd like to tell everybody what they found, but on the other, they have to wait because they want to make sure their results are not just some fluke or error in their instrument. It's a bind scientists frequently find themselves in, because by their nature, scientists like to share their results. At the same time, they're cautious because no one likes to make a big announcement and then have to say "never mind." The exciting results are coming from an instrument in the rover called SAM. "We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting," John Grotzinger, the principal investigator for the rover mission, says during my visit last week to his office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. That's where data from SAM first arrive on Earth. "The science team is busily chewing away on it as it comes down," says Grotzinger. SAM is a kind of miniature chemistry lab. Put a sample of Martian soil or rock or even air inside SAM, and it will tell you what the sample is made of. Complete Story

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia! There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care. If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.  Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand. |

Such a tease. They found something "thats going to be in the history books" but we won't tell you what it is yet.

 Curiosity found plastic on the Mars. Most people will read that sentence and think "trash" on Mars, but it doesn't mean trash. It means some form of life must have existed on Mars at some point! Edit: Reading what I wrote may have came off wrong. Not life that created the plastic. The plastic formed using petrochemicals. (read, crude oil)
