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 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.

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.
