NASA makes Mars discovery 'for the history books'

[Mutt]

So its "one for the history books" is it?

They've found a bookmark, obviously. How it got there is curious though.

A New source of oil
Diamonds larger than ever available on earth
The remains of a squirrel type animal

They discovered, some dust.....

Better than that, a piece of toast with Richard Dawkins on it, proof of the randomness of the universe (as stolen from the Viz).

Bloody love Viz, get yourself the Profanisaurus app on your phone to ease the pain of early mornings.

Probably just a layer of caramel.

It's obviously going to be something disappointing. It always is.

Rust.

Probably one of those farts that you try to sneak out and it turns out to be a Godzilla room-filler.

I'd start by checking the ISS food logs for the latest Indian curry night

I thought they found out that the methane experiments they did showed no methane on mars? the initial results where contaminated because the rover bought over some contaminated air from earth.

They're able to see the methane in the atmosphere via telescope I think.

Other possibilities for what Curiosity may have found:

* A rock that looks like Jesus
* Lord Lucan
* A black monolith
* A second Curiosity rover
* Unobtanium
* That place where all the missing socks go

But in seriousness, I can see this going the same way as NASA's last "Earth shattering" discovery. "They've found alien life!" -> "They've found bacteria on Earth based on arsenic" -> "They've found bacteria that can use arsenic in exactly the kind of place we'd expect to find them" -> "That paper was quite possibly wrong".

It'll be a Supermarket Trolley, those things get ****ing everywhere!

David Bowie?







ohh the irony if it is.........

 

[p_r_i_m_e]

"the chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one they said!" it must be the red weed

 

[panyan]

I wont be impressed unless they found my keys that i lost in 1997

A tablet saying the only true religion is scientololgy.. Or maybe Savilles vhs collection :O

 

[bitslice]

In the NASA cafeteria they discovered bacteria that uses arsenic to build new cells, sooooo pretty much like the last exciting news conference.

[Marky]

Very exciting Looking forward to hearing what they've found

 

[Mutt]

Don't be shocked if they discover this:

What else relevant could it be from a mission objective to discover life?

Even though from what we know now this was 99% likely anyway, it's just good to confirm it.
