[quote:Enufs Enuf 339212:MV81ODEyMTdfODg2MjE1Nl9FQUZDNEFBMw==] With all due respect OP - I couldn't give a flying f*"k whether there is life on Mars or not.... Ten years ago I would be jumping up and down at the prospect. Nowadays I never know who to believe and tend to rely on my own intuition. We are being deceived in virtually everything and we must be careful where we direct our energy.....don't give it away to deceivers.... After all - whatever 'they' find anywhere has been achieved with our sweat equity - ie money and we will never see any payback for it. However, we will be expected to cough up for their next project which I'm sure is waiting in the wings - that is, if they are even ON Mars??????? "You shall know them by their fruits" - ie money....follow it... [/quote]

It would appear that the US President has been briefed by Phoenix scientists about the discovery of something more "provocative" than the discovery of water existing on the Martian surface. This news comes just as the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) confirmed experimental evidence for the existence of water in the Mars regolith on Thursday. Whilst NASA scientists are not claiming that life once existed on the Red Planet's surface, new data appears to indicate the "potential for life" more conclusively than the TEGA water results. Apparently these new results are being kept under wraps until further, more detailed analysis can be carried out, but we are assured that this announcement will be huge…
So why is there all this secrecy? According to scientists in communication with Aviation Week & Space Technology, the next big discovery will need to be mulled over for a while before it is announced to the world. In fact, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory science team for the MECA wet-chemistry instrument that made these undisclosed findings were kept out of the July 31st news conference (confirming water) so additional analysis could be carried out, avoiding any questions that may have revealed their preliminary results. They have also made the decision to discuss the results with the Bush Administration's Presidential Science Advisor's office before a press conference between mid-August and early September.
