NASA makes Mars discovery 'for the history books'

[DJMK4]

A mars bar? Surely

Hahaha I see what you did there.

Ummm...do you? I don't

Ummm...do you? I don't

Not "earthshaking" after all = anti climax.

I need sleep! Night!

NASA says Mars discovery isn't 'earthshaking' after all

To be fair they are only doing damage limitation after stupid journos misquoted them.

Since it was meant to be an announcement from the SAM diagnostic equipment, I'd stack my meagre fortune on it being the announcement of finding organic molecules, which they will say means that life could have existed, yawn!! It's not that life changing because meteors rain down organic molecules on all of the planets in our solar system.

Whats with all the deleted posts?

They were jokes about finding Maddie McCann/quotes of the post making the jokes.

Look, the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one . . . .

but might just happen. I mean million to one chances happen 9 out of 10 times.


Honestly though it will be disappointing if its like the we found a rock announcement.

 

[Freakbro]

Webster's comments come across as an attempt to cool down the rumor mill so that there isn't disappointment when the actual discovery is announced.

Hmmpf...bit late for that now...

Some of us already knew that.

Meh, took them long enough, they were milking this one I think.

Even methane isn't that exciting, there are seasonal plumes of methane on a moon around some planet I can't remember.

I think it's a message written in fire in letters thirty feet tall. It will read "We apologise for the inconvenience"

So does that mean they have found her?

 

[ChocolateStarfishRammer]

Nothing?

 

[Skidder]

they've already made a statement that rumours are not true and have implied announcement is not as interesting as people had hoped

Face on mars is wearing a santa hat is my guess.

I wasn't since they announced the other week it was basically just using the tools for the first time :/

 

[StriderX]

OK besides the jokes, what's the information?

 

[awaybreaktoday]

They have confirmed they have found organic compounds on mars. However thay are not confirming its native to mars as yet.
