- inactive, on 07/11/2008, -0/+7it seems something is there.....nice submission
- CptGreencoat, on 07/11/2008, -1/+5I hope they discover that Mars is just one big red Geodude.
- Millsee, on 07/11/2008, -0/+3Jeff Wayne's musical version of "The War Of The Worlds" says that the chances are very remote.
It's a reliable source. - ka0tic, on 07/11/2008, -3/+5OM NOM NOM NOM
- exspasticcomics, on 07/11/2008, -0/+2well.. first NASA needs to get a rock... now.. not like a pebble or anything.. BUT AN ACTUAL ROCK. then- they need to split that sucker open.. possibly with a hammer.. or if you got some guy who thinks he's John Belushi on your team.... you can use his head. then.. ya gotta look and see if there's any crap growing in there... if not.. you're plum outta luck.
- pjr12345, on 07/11/2008, -1/+2I love speculative articles. Here's an idea for a headline for another one, "NASA Might Find Little Green Men on Mars"
- MSP1, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Ah the old unthinking cry! What makes you think that using the tiny percentage of GDP spent on space exploration to "fix the economy" would make any difference?
- rodrigo74, on 07/11/2008, -1/+2Any discovery, positive or negative, is indeed very important. But I hope that they find something alive on Mars just to see the religious fundies having all the trouble to re-re-re-reinterpret their sacred books so it fits the new facts. I love see them sweating every time reality slaps them in the face, even though the fun doesn't last long, a couple of months later they act as if they "always knew", y'see, it was always there in The Bookâ˘.
- notoneofus, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Beyond off-topic, it's short-sighted. Fixing the economy and conducting vital research are not mutually exclusive. Take a little time to research what advances have been made as a result of space exploration before you discount its value.
- pjr12345, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Science reporting today seems very paparazzi-esque. They're trying to "sell" us on their product, and will stop at nothing to do so. Speculation, half-truths, and deceit are standard fare.
I agree with you that known science offer a wealth of value to anyone who would simply report on it. No hype, just the truth. It's awesome enough to humble even our biggest egos. - reisrocks, on 07/11/2008, -0/+1Yeap agreed.
Lots of the scientific press is totally speculative, which I find disappointing.
After all every branch of science is so deep, wide and full of mind-boggling facts and potential articles.
I really don't understand the need to speculate so much on "possible" future discoveries when there is already so much to talk about what is being done today, and lives in the realm of the science fact.
Today's science is yesterday's science fiction, and surely that's worth reporting. - rubbertoes, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0It's not the destination, it's the journey
- Kormiku, on 07/11/2008, -1/+1I found a rock eating microbe on earth!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOQOyHSzDf0 - Millsee, on 07/11/2008, -2/+1To be honest, I think the chances are a million to one.
- MSP1, on 07/11/2008, -3/+2What are your sources of information? Have you sent any private probes to Mars or any think like that?
- suwoo244, on 07/11/2008, -9/+1A little off-topic but shouldn't we be spending more money on Earth fixing the economy? OOH that's right, George Bush is still president.
