Disorder Posted March 2, 2004 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? Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3524275.stm 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted March 2, 2004 Hopefully they found something interesting, not just something that "could be" important. 0 Share this post Link to post

" So I guess they found a swimming pool or something 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted March 2, 2004 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? 0 Share this post Link to post

Submerge Posted March 2, 2004 Looks like it's mating with the rock. ROWR. 0 Share this post Link to post

Why would they make such a big deal out of this if they already knew it? 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 ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
