Lake Vostok could give up it's secrets...or disappointments, within weeks!

Very interesting way they've devised of discovering or may or may not be down there without contaminating it.

Once the lake is reached, the water pressure will push the working body and the drilling fluid upwards in the borehole, and then freeze again - then they take that sample and test it.

Pretty cool!

We can never shed our sins and regrets, only accumulate more, a burden that we grow and carry until our deaths. The best we can do is learn to live with ourselves, to accommodate our pasts

Anyone think we'll find anything cool?

That's a lame assumption. Probably true...
