*****. - martinezmic, on 08/05/2008, -0/+21Probably found a Chinese flag
- jorichter, on 08/05/2008, -1/+21I like it when the worlds top scientists explain things with words like "Bogus."
- SquishyMon, on 08/05/2008, -0/+18I'm not sure what they expected the reaction to be when they say they found something more profound than just ice and then said they wouldn't make an announcement until after a month of further study.

1. Nasa states they find something more "compelling" than water (must be something great)
2. Nasa has to breif the president before telling us what it is
3. Nasa states they found a chemical, and that mars really can't support life, or it could be a mistake, but its nothing.
So we go from an amazing discovery , more amazing than water on mars, to it being "bogus" - fr0ng, on 08/05/2008, -3/+20It's a cover up I tell you!
*grabs a Costco size package of tin foil* - oxdeltaxo, on 08/05/2008, -0/+15Time paradox and the universe implodes.
- Lyk4n, on 08/05/2008, -0/+15Sigs are not for Digg..
- ihate2regist, on 08/05/2008, -0/+13"Welcome to COSTCO, I love you."
- johndavidjack, on 08/05/2008, -7/+20Cue conspiracy nuts in 3...2...1...
- scenefiend, on 08/05/2008, -2/+14What if they found a rusted out lander that said Phoenix and NASA on it!
- cryonix, on 08/05/2008, -1/+12this is what happens when you digg an article without researching its validity. Not that anyone here would ever research... anything... ever. or ever go as far as to check the phoenix website.
- leerayIG88, on 08/05/2008, -0/+9At least you got 1,000 hours free!
- VeryBoredNow, on 08/05/2008, -3/+12DO NOT BE FOOLED!
The lizard men that run the government are only lying to us because they discovered life on Mars that craps Oil. They will steal all the oil by making a false flag attack to distract us and then they'll put us all into camps so we won't see the pipeline! 9-11! ILLUMINATI! - dnields, on 08/05/2008, -1/+9Obviously you didn't know that Ted Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston Esq. were two of the world's top scientists.
- matt510, on 08/05/2008, -0/+7Says someone who doesn't understand sceince or the Phoenix mission.
- suckanucka, on 08/05/2008, -0/+7The men with the green skin have gotten to the men in the black suits.
- gemlarin, on 08/05/2008, -1/+6I got dugg down on Digg the other day (and I am sure I will get buried again) for calling the Blog about Aviation Week's report a storm in a teacup and related it to the hype before the public release of the Segway a few years back. Digg is the worst when it comes to propagating rumors and hype. People need to start taking blogs a little less seriously.
- IphtashuFitz, on 08/05/2008, -1/+6The men in the black suits have gotten to the NASA scientists!
- matt510, on 08/05/2008, -0/+5Since information is so easy to find, people jump on any little thing. NASA says they have found something more interesting that water and people jump all over it. When NASA says they want to analyze is, people claim conspiracy or that they are just pulling our leg. Science is NOT instant. It takes time. Just because you have quick access to information, doesn't mean it is going to be the best. Learn some patience, science has lots of it.
- skipdog172, on 08/05/2008, -0/+4In any of the articles I read, there were no reports of life on mars...only reports that NASA had an announcement they were not releasing. None of these articles had "details that had been shared". I guess, I don't understand the point of this guy. All anybody was ever doing was hoping that there would be something. It is like he is trying to disprove some crazy blogger who proclaimed that there is life there or something...
- inactive, on 08/05/2008, -0/+4Vortigaunts.
- matt510, on 08/05/2008, -0/+4Who are these scientists that know Mars used to have life? Where do you get the 80% figure?
- brewer, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3Does the cold of deep space make your nipples pointy, Bowie?
- Ryan2845, on 08/05/2008, -2/+5What they found was a toxin that rules out current life on mars
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/08/04/nasa.mars ... - gemlarin, on 08/05/2008, -1/+4That is the majority of digg. (expects to be buried)
- FriedTurkey, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3If you keep saying "not to sound like a conspiracy nut" you probably are. Religion would adapt the stories to life on other planets. Even the pope has said there is a possibility of intelligent life out there. Religion would survive. If there was a mass conspiracy on contradicting religion all dinosaur bones and carbon dating would be banned.
- Lyk4n, on 08/05/2008, -1/+4by helmet he means tin foil hat
- matt510, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3I agree, it is because everyone wants to claim they knew it first. Hoping for that HUGE digg for the article that got it right. It doesn't make sense. What happened to actually waiting for scientific result? Does anyone wait for journal articles to be published and reviewed any more?
- LeeSoong, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3"The Department can neither confirm nor deny the discovery of alien bacteria on Mars." - Agent Scully.
Government Denies Knowledge - no surprise there. - toolsdrummer, on 08/05/2008, -1/+3dugg down for "sheeple"
- ngmcs8203, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2Life as we know it as humans. What's to say that there aren't any beings that can exist in that environment?
- DeFex, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2But they did find some gnarly jumps and ramps dude!
- Anonchrist, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2The DLT does not exist. Any further attempts to reveal this alleged organization will be dealt with promptly by a bury brigade and an armed strike force lead by a man with fashionable hair. If you know what I mean...
- miptex, on 08/05/2008, -1/+3Aviation week was the original source of the rumor, and they never said NASA had found life on Mars. Some people jumped to radical conclusions, and when their own speculations turned out to be wrong, they blame NASA and say it was a conspiracy. Use your heads!
NASA has found something very interesting indeed. Most people just dont realize it because it has to do with chemistry which means they have to think. - doctechnical, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2I thought the Phoenix killed a bunch of aliens... a planet full of "asparagus people" or something like that.
- faceless323, on 08/05/2008, -1/+3:Spoiler:
That's the The Twilight Zone's episode of Ghost Ship. - LeeSoong, on 08/05/2008, -0/+2Gee, I really could go for a Starbucks right now...
- LeeSoong, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1Nasa states there is no reason to be alarmed, yet.
But if you ask why they are all taking lessons in ancient Mayan and all scheduled 3 weeks vacation exactly at the same time in 2012?
No Comment. - RobotBuddha, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1The person on the street already thinks aliens are flying around, that ghosts are real, and that Jesus is going to be back any day now. Rationalists and skeptics would probably have a harder time coming to terms with it than the general public.
- tenio, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1exactly, i mean couldn't there possibly be life that eats this "poisonous substance", even here on earth, certain chemicals r deadly to one species while helpful to another
- LeeSoong, on 08/05/2008, -1/+2"This is not the soil sample we are looking for...
Move Along, Move Along.''
NASA Jedi Mind Trick. - matt510, on 08/05/2008, -1/+2Yes, that is clearly a rational comment. Darn our government for moving me backward!
/sarcasm
The tinfoil is in the pantry. - RobotBuddha, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1We have direct evidence that most of the first book of the bible is false, and it's had a pretty minimal impact. Science has been shooting down statements about the nature of the world found in religious texts since the scientific method was first put into place. But people follow their religion, they don't follow their holy books. How many Christians do you even know who've read the bible from front to back?
- beautifulleper, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1I hope your an atheist. Cause if not, religious nut! Conspiracies are fun to think about as long as you don't believe in them.
- soloman747, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1Fine NASA. Don't tell us. When people start getting killed by Transformers it will all be YOUR FAULT!
- malhombre, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1I am older than most diggers, I suspect (50+). From my perspective, it is very likely that a discovery of life anywhere in the universe other than Earth would create some level of social unrest from the religious factions, primarily the monotheistic (esp. fundamentalist) crowd. Not so much the Buddhists and Hindus, I would think.
When you are devoted to a stone age, anthropic myth system that holds among it's many tenets that ***** sapiens are the supreme creation of the master of the universe, the only creatures with a "soul", then life existing anywhere else presents a serious threat. Intelligent life would be a disaster. No doubt some "God Lite" religions would simply adapt to the news, but the fundies are another matter. - Ev3nt372, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1No they find the rusted remains of the Statue of Liberty. Bush is then notified that it was Earth all along.
- LeeSoong, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1You are forgetting the conservation of causality principle.
Small paradoxes are like the ripples of a rock tossed into the Pacific Ocean. - RobotBuddha, on 08/05/2008, -1/+2Or when people run around saying "omg, we just found out something amazing! We're not going to tell you, the public who funded it though. Now talk among yourselves."
