UNPRECENTED DISCOVERY ON MARS!- Goods to come Dec 3

THE GREAT DISCOVERY ON MARS. WHAT WILL IT BE?


When my father walked through the door he grinned from ear to ear and said, "You're gonna love this."
I knew it was going to be space related and so I just had to ask what he heard.

Thus began the discussion that NASAs Curiousity team had discovered something very important on Mars. Or so they say. It was originally stated on National Public Radio. link below.

The exciting results are coming from an instrument in the rover called SAM. "We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting, says John Grotzinger"

Did they really find something interesting or is it just a false alarm?

"This is going to be a disappointment," said Chris McKay, a NASA space scientist at Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif. "The press description of the SAM results as 'earthshaking' is, in my view, an unfortunate exaggeration. We have not (yet) found anything in SAM that was not already known from previous missions: Phoenix and Viking."

But James Garvin, chief scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and a member of Curiosity's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) science team, had a different take.

Curiosity scientists are expected to cough up the goods at this year's American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco, to be held from Dec. 3 to Dec. 7.


-although it may not necessarily mean that the public itself will get their hands on this information, So we may have to wait a little longer.

Hold on to your hats! This could be one for the history books.
