NASA: Martian Discovery "One For The History Books".

[N2NH]

The newest Mars rover Curiosity has found what NASA describes as "Something."


Curiosity is living up to its name. The NASA rover currently wheeling itself around Mars has apparently sent back some very interesting data from the Red Planet in the form of a soil sample that shows ... well, something. From the sounds of it, something big. But for now at least, that's all anyone is willing to say.

Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena are keeping their lips sealed for the time being while they run additional tests to make sure the discovery holds up. That, however, hasn't stopped one of the mission's leaders from speculating loudly that it'll be one that rewrites at least some of what we know about the universe.

"This data is gonna be one for the history books," John Grotzinger, the rover mission's principal investigator, told NPR last week (http://www.npr.org/2012/11/20/165513016/big-news-from-mars-rover-scientists-mum-for-now) for a the buzz-inciting segment that aired today. "It's looking really good."

NASA sez it's found "Something."

But it's a secret for now. (http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2012/11/20/mars_discovery_nasa_touts_curiosity_data_that_poin ts_to_historic_discovery.html?wpisrc=most_viral)

What would really impress would be if Curiousity was to find poor Beagle and restore it to working order but I fear it's been too long out of action. (Just to remind you, Beagle was a British cut-price vehicle launched on the back of a European space craft. It crashed on Mars in 2003 and hasn't been heard of since).

It would then mean Curiousity taking Beagle for walkies every day I suppose.

Life no longer exists on Mars because somebody was receiving radio from Earth and turned up Indian Love Call a little bit too loud.

It was, in fact, Inna Gadda Da Vida, but otherwise you are perfectly correct.

That's because eagles fly. Beagles lie around and bark at nothing all day.

You can be sure that if this is truly interesting, it'll turn into NASA saying that they were wrong and didn't really find anything. They're not about to give away the store.

The "Big Discovery" is simply an old beer bottle, like the one Geraldo Rivera found in "Al Capones vault" No breaking news here... NASA is looking for attention to avoid further budget cuts.

Besides, the natives are getting sick and tired of us dumping junk on their planet...

The only thing that hasn't been discovered there is a SUBWAY.

No, it no longer exists because there was an emergency, and they had no emcom, skywarn, orange vests, twinkie lights, and other life saving refinements of civilization.

They Spammed themselves into oblivion one foggy Christmas Marsmas evening. The word went out there was an approaching asteroid but nobody knew because they were too busy ignoring all the Marsmas spam in their mailboxes.

I think they found Michael Valentine Smith.
