Potential for life life on mars?

[Randypiper]

It would appear that the US President has been briefed by Phoenix scientists about the discovery of something more "provocative" than the discovery of water existing on the Martian surface. This news comes just as the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) confirmed experimental evidence for the existence of water in the Mars regolith on Thursday. Whilst NASA scientists are not claiming that life once existed on the Red Planet's surface, new data appears to indicate the "potential for life" more conclusively than the TEGA water results. Apparently these new results are being kept under wraps until further, more detailed analysis can be carried out, but we are assured that this announcement will be huge…


So again this administration will be manipulating scientific information to the public. I wonder what we will be allowed to know?

2. Here's my guess,

Some microbes that tagged along for the ride in or on the Pheonix spacecraft have begun to multiply in the moistened Martian soil. Did we just fertilize Mars?

It's not like he's actually going to comprehend what the fuck he's told. :eyes:

8. Damn, I misread the headline "Potential for life life on mars"

I thought it was referring to turning Mars into a penal colony, and maybe
the entire Bush administration as it's first inhabitants!

Oh well, back to my nap...
