NASA found something on Mars, press conference today

NASA is going to hold a press conference today (not sure what time). According to the rumours, the Mars rover robot has made a significant discovery. Some scientists claim that the rover has found water on Mars. Others say that it might have found primitive lifeforms.

This is quite exciting and of course I'm hoping for a spectacular announcement. What do you guys think? Water, aliens, hamburgers, anything else?

Quite possibly a hamburger.

Oh good, they found my car keys.

Hopefully they found something interesting, not just something that "could be" important.

Heh, yeah. Sabotaged by Alien resistance.

I clicked on your link and there it was:

"Significant findings" about water on Mars will be announced by the US space agency on Tuesday in Washington DC. "

So I guess they found a swimming pool or something

But ESA and NASA studies already pointed out that there is water on Mars a long time ago. Why would they make such a big deal out of this if they already knew it?

It's Super Tuesday, it will remove lots of news coverage about the Democrats

There are too many possible funny/stupid answers for this, so...

They Found:

1. DoomBoy's Intelligence
2. A reeeal preety shiny rock
3. The remains of some other POS spaceship they sent there that failed
4. deadnail
5. The remainder of Milennium
6. Bigfoot
7. Elvis
8. Jesus
9. A portal to hell
10. A barrel full of green sludge
11. Hissy

Isn't it obvious?

heh, nice pic zarkyb :)
But like Zoost said, theres nothing interesting to it. Its just about water again. ... yay, water... :|

Looks like it's mating with the rock. ROWR.

No the exsistence of water was never proven, only expected. And I don't think they announce to release something about water, but then announce something SPECTECULAR about LIFEFORMS....but who knows ;-)

That Imp is tiny, heh.

They found little fossilized chunks of a gibbed Doomguy from a deathmatch that happened long ago.

yay, more fish... :|

more here

Maybe there's a new ROCK, with slightly different EROSION MARKS!

The imp or the rover? Or both?

They found traces of an ancient civilization which fought and beat the demons of Hell many millenia ago.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Kinda sad, but oh well.

They simply announced that there once was water on Mars. That's it.

Disorder said:

That's it.

Entirely uninteresting.

How anti-climatic.

Eh, Not true

Awww, I was hoping they'd find flight controls in the Face of Mars.

"Hey there, hows it goin'?"

Wow, really? I never would've guessed!

Thread pruned of some of its spam. This is really quite an interesting topic, so I'll leave this thread open just in case someone does actually want to discuss it.
