Scientist are hyped up about Mars discoveries. Water? Life? A 2pm press conference has been announced.

"The primary mission of the rovers really dealt with the history of water on Mars and we'll be reporting new findings that bear on that," NASA spokesman Don Savage said Monday from Washington, D.C. "I can't go into any detail without telling you what it was."


My guess it that they've either found water, proof that there once was water (and life), or Osama bin Laden. :wink:

My prediction is that the rovers have been "appropriated" by martians. The martians are now using the rovers to transport water for them, and they are using the radio to send taunting messages about the state of our technology and our society.

of the exposed bedrock at the landing site of Opportunity has provided major evidence that Mars was once a wet planet as they found the types of minerals that form only in the presence of water. However, no direct evidence of any form of Life has been found.

*snicker* Glad to make you guys laugh! :) And it's only Tuesday!

My mom told me that joke back when the whole PTL thing was going on. She said, "Did you hear about what they found when they scraped all that makeup off Tammy Faye?" I said, "No, what?" And then she could barely even said the punch line because she kept cracking up. Finally, she said, "Jimmy Hoffa!" and cracked up more. I just sat there looking at her blankly. "I don't get it. Who's Jimmy Hoffa?"

LOL. Now I know. :)
