organic compounds found in the soil

Pin this shit!

h2o (water), o2 (oxygen), and co2 (carbon dioxide) were gas vapors released upon heating up soil samples.

Damn you OP. I can't view it, but the news indicates otherwise.

"At this point in the mission, the instruments on the rover have not detected any definitive evidence of Martian organics."

well, that's not HUGE, but at least SOMETHING.

try the other streams, I don't think the space.com one is streaming..

I didn't say they found aliens. organic compounds doesn't necessarily mean "living organisms." but as John Grotzinger just said, finding organics is rare.

nothing spectacular
they need more missions!

"It's...It's a cookbook!"

I'm with Astro, +

How To Cook Forty Humans. (tree house of horror ,The Simpsons)i just hope there aint dust on it.

my initial guess when we first heard it would be earthshattering news was that it would be methane.

Any sort of organics would be earth shattering.
Religiontards will have to regroup, start thinking up excuses.
There's a reason they executed Galileo, the news that the earth was not the center of the earth released religions hold enough for a growth in human knowledge that is still ongoing.
Can't let that happen again

I have to ask WHY does the religious tards have to rethink anything? Is there some kind of biblical passage that states that no life exists beyond earth?

so that is the big "earthshattering news" ... ?

how disappointed news.

dirt...

finding O2 in the soil pretty much confirms there was once life on mars

Finding dirt is a big deal.

Oh Wow, Now we know where we all came From--

Astro - you are right - it quite a big SHIT

Damn You!!

Be man enough to appoligize ..

The guy is right

Has it started yet?

Its done, 1700GMT was the broadcast

ah thank you

no it doesn't. O2 is the natural state of oxygen in it's atomic form.

Because god created everything just for us to show how wonderful he is. If aliens come down and they had their own version of Jesus dying on the cross for their sins then yeah I suppose gods real but whats the odds of that ;)
After all depending on which country you were born pretty much dictates which religion you belong to, so whats the chances of being born on a different planet and being Christian.
