So, when does the Lake Vostok water sample become public?

Re: Lake Vostok
A few cliff notes from this thread:

A million year old pristine water sample was taken from Lake Vostok over two months ago.

Google gets you nothing past the middle of February.

How many months does it take to analyze a water sample?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14641541


So, what was in that water sample they don't want to disclose?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14641541


It took them many years to drill that hole, they certainly aren't going to rush anything now.

They are going to write their papers, there will be a press release when they get published.
Until then the data is all theirs.
book
 Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD


Last night I was reading the Hopi Indian beliefs about Mother Earth and the birthing of the new world, or the new earth.
Theres so much that describes the laboring of the earth, the birthing process..
and when Lake Vostok has this 'sterile' water, like the water that breaks when a woman gives birth... well, there you go.

Antartica is the birth canal/vagina if you will.

What the scientists did by drilling that hole into the ice was akin to a woman getting stabbed by a needle into her womb.
Not nice.
So, thinking like an Indian or a woman who just got stabbed, I'm guessing that Mother Earth is on the crankytrain to PaybacksVille.

Or, maybe when she births, the new earth will be unleashed & gushed with ________.
And then, ____________________.

What they end up finding and what the actually tell the public wont be the same.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14956737



From a NATO official:

“You know, they have classified Lake Vostok. They took it away from JPL who were monitoring it. Are you familiar with Lake Vostok in Antarctica? Under the ice in Antarctica there is a fresh-water lake deep, deep down under the ice, that’s 100 miles long and 50 miles wide. Fresh water. The temperature in the damn lake is about 65 degrees, which is pleasant swimming, you might say.

“But at the end of Lake Vostok is what’s known as a gigantic masscon—a mass concentration of metal, very similar to the masscons they discovered on the Moon — a gigantic, circular-shaped, metallic object deep under the ice at the end of Lake Vostok. The National Security Agency took it away from JPL. It’s one of the most sensitive things in the world now, the anomaly at the end of the lake. It’s now classified, top secret.”

Just did a goog on lake vostok news.

Nothing new past the middle of february that I saw.


I agree that something is wrong here. My daughter has a bachelors in biology and commented that with current tech, we should have an accurate analysis of this water sample within hours, not months.

They were very close to the change of seasons, and had to leave. They will likely not be able to even get a proper sample until the next summer season. It will be some time before anything will be released, but not due to any conspiracy, just weather.

Lake Vostok, suddenly the most silent subject on the internet.

Must have been something unplanned for, otherwise they would have had something to present to the public, fabricated or otherwise... Russians are only too aware of the overly elaborate Western dis-info campaigns though, and they may be calling the shots on this one, in withholding with no explanation.

It reminds me of the saying, "Truth is often stranger than fiction".

You realize that no one is at Lake Vostok right now don't you?

They managed to get the sample just before the winter set in.
They will analyze the samples for as long as they can before they put out any info. They essentially have a monopoly on the data about it so there is no need for them to hurry.

No one will be able to get back there until November or December.

They have what ever samples there are of the submerged lake. No one else has any sample. They will take their time and only give out info when it is advantageous for them.

It's their water.

It's their show.

They are not going to release that data before they are ready to publish there own papers.
