- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -2/+64Id like to see my tax money spent on the space program.
- trebe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+62wooooooooooo aliens.
- Recuso, on 10/12/2007, -1/+60Pffffft. You don't realize that "significant" to scientists is completely different than "significant" to the rest of the population.
$20 says it'll be something about a rock that has an 'interesting' composition or something of the sort. - strangerzero, on 10/12/2007, -7/+63I heard they found Osama bin Laden.
- MasterDirk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+52I just looked up those scientists that will be in the briefing:
- Phil Christensen:
Geologist with focus on thermal imaging. Bearded.
- Ken Edgett
Geologist with interest in sediments topology (traces of water?), wrote a children's book. Bearded.
- Michael Meyer:
Boss scientist, astrolonomy, interested in how planets form and origins of life. Don't know if he's bearded.
- Michael Malin:
Geologist interested in finding water on Mars. Bearded.
Either they've found water (or clear traces of it) or they've found beards on Mars. Perhaps Chuck Norris is seen on an image? - flernk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head. Now here's the plan. Get your ass to Mars.
- Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -3/+43They found oil!
Prepare for the War on Mars. - FrankieB078, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42Hubbard and Xenu were photographed playing Medieval Chess on Mars.
- heyitsme23, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34a starbucks?
- SpazticChips, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Waldo.
- Silencer7, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32...god, i hope you meant waistline...
- heuer007, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29its probably a big marketing ploy to promote the upcoming release of "TRANSFORMERS"
- bquigly, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27They finally found out why Mars is red. Embarrassment.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26They just saved a bunch of money on their car insurance by switching to geico .
- NoStoppingUs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19H2Ohhhh?
- Mitchl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Dudes -- I know this has to be about the human skull and the petrified dog head found by the rovers. It was all on Coast to Coast last week man!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17They found another rock that looks like a face.
- carmaa, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18No, they have extensive surveillance photo evidence suggesting that Mars has Weapons of Mass Destruction. Bush is pulling troops out of Iraq and pushing soldiers into space shuttles as you read this, claiming that the Moon, Mars and Pluto have formed an "Axis of Evil".
- Azap, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I heard they found transformers
- omgitscolin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17@NoStoppingUs - I wasn't gonna digg you down until the "liberal bias" comment. Please try not to be such a partisan ***** in a non-political thread. Thanks.
- GhostToon, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17ancient martian pornography
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12There is strong evidence that water is under the surface of mars... and evidence also points to the fact that water existed on the surface at some point. It's very interesting.
Hopefully during our lifetime we'll get to see some huge discoveries. - firemillen2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Holy Crap. If they found flowing water, it could mean the second golden age of Space Exploration.
We could actually see a human colony on Mars in our lifetime. Imagine the race to create habitat on Mars.
I hope this happens. It's much bigger than the iPhone. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"Signifigant find" in science is rarely used.
My guesses at such bold endearments might be fossil life, ice, odd landscape features (to include possible tracks of some sort), plant life (mold, mildew etc), Elvis or Jimmy Hoffas remains.
time will tell, but I am excited now so thanks for posting this! - dukrous, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12@NoStoppingUs:
I'm a Republican, too, but I still think it's ridiculous for Bush to say we're going back to the Moon and not give it proper funding. If he's serious about a real space program, he should fund it. - steger, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16I heard that they found the crashed orbiter.
- NoStoppingUs, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16the body of jimmy hoffa.
- sobriquet, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17I'm hoping it has to do with those glass tubes that were spotted a while back. Even if they're not alien-made, it would still be interesting to know what natural process made them.

While it is regrettable that a spacecraft was lost because of a stupid mistake, I don't see that as a reason to abandon all space exploration. One could give similar arguments about any endeavor, whether it's surgery, driving, building bridges, computer programming, etc. Mistakes happen, and it's important that people learn from those mistakes and move forward. If you want all space projects ceased because of a past mistake, please, ask to get dugg up. - HoosbinPharteen, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14Anyone have a spare babelfish? I lost mine.
- RiemannLebesgue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Why would flowing water be a " :-( " discovery?
- TheJuggernaut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Some sites are hypothesizing that NASA's going to announce they've spotted flowing water on the surface. Seems unlikely, but Aviation Week is echoing the same hunch.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13I for one, welcome our new [TBA 1 PM EST] overlords.
- NoStoppingUs, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12..in the title of the press release..
"NASA Schedules Briefing to Announce Significant Find on Mars" - pardonmedoug, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Oh.
- BananaGrabber, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9stargate
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14dug down twice actually.
- Corgana, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10It says "significant" in the title.
- n0sferatu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@NoStoppingUs,
Ah thanks, I overlooked that. Well, it's from Mars Global Surveyor so I wouldn't think it would be anything regarding extraterrestrial life as it's not on the surface of Mars but orbiting. Maybe something to do with ice or liquid water? - CanoeBuilder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7What do you mean :-( ?
"Flowing water" is great!
I'm on the next ship over, with my intertubes and coolers of beer woohoo! - carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8fossil bacteria, H2O, live bacteria, crashed lander, crashed orbiter, active volcano? what other _logical_ ones could it be?
- TrevorBradley, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Sounds like it might be an announcement about a discovery of flowing water on Mars:
http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_340020925.html
That's all Google News would give me. - Cl1mh4224rd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9"Perhaps Chuck Norris is seen on an image?"
New images and analysis of the Face on Mars reveal it to be, in actuality, a self-portrait of Chuck Norris. Scientists speculate that he carved it out of a mountain with a number of well-placed round-house kicks. - eric1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Fossil life? Impossible. God is merely testing our faith!
- 1911wolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I've got money riding on liquid water, big money.
- mbiesz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6For those that plan on watching the coverage on NASA TV, there's an excellent free video feed (1500 kb/s bitrate!) available here: http://www.vdc.com/

Oh shut the ***** up. There are no "glass tubes" on Mars. Geologists conclusively proved they are sand dunes sitting at valley bottoms and formed by winds. Why on earth you are getting diggs for bringing this ***** up is beyond me. It took me all of two seconds on Google to find the answer. As it's been said many times, ***** travels faster than truth.
Richard Hoagland and his cronies are so full of ***** and utterly misguided we'd be back in the stone age scientifically if any serious scientist paid him any heed. Richard looked like a plum idiot when higher resolution photos of the "face" on Mars were released and they revealed......that there was/is no face. What a ***** shock. Can we please place all these Mars conspiracies in the dustbin along with "free" energy, oil company conspiracies, black helicopters, Roswell, etc. ? We are dumbing down the human race with all their *****. - robertgoodwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5According to NASA Watch, Aviation Week is reporting: "NASA is ready to announce major new findings about the presence of water currently emerging onto the surface of Mars."
