NASA is to hold a news conference at 2 pm eastern announcing a major discovery/finding from the Rovers.

The instant a technical or sciencey-sounding term was used they bailed....

I'm watching the NASA Internet link...

That guy must have his own little apartment right at Kennedy. I think he's been there over 40 years.

Are they saying there is life?
Is this "reading between the lines"?

[Conspiracy Guy]

I carried my own barbeque and lots of beer.

First Fox dropped away, then CNN, then MSNBC

Neither CSPAN ever had it. I had to flip to NASA TV on the web. (Our cable network only carries NASA at night in place of the arts channel)

[Howlin]

Well, I'll be damend:

They have not found any direct evidence of life there now.

Like CNN did to Wes Clark when the Iraq war broke out.
How much can one make being a subject matter expert. Seems little to no real job experience.

[Paradox]

In adjusted dollars, probably alot more than what Jefferson paid Lewis and Clark to discover land and water in the western USA. Per capita, however, I wonder how that would brake down..

[writer33]

Like Rush said, "Halliburton used up all the water drilling for oil. This done to enhance President Bush's and Vice President Cheney's portfolio." HAHAHA!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Liquid water is so much better than the powdered stuff.

Excellent work. Free Republic ought to have a running anagram thread :)

[AFreeBird]

DirecTV channel 376

Is that the NASA Channel? I don't have the "multi-dish" so I don't get that channel. :-(

[isthisnickcool]

One of the things the Mars Rover dug up.

NASA is not sure what it means.

[Carolinamom]

I'd rather look at rocks on Mars than see Kerry and Edwards on the hustings.

[adam_az]

"Why didn't some form of life that was once sustained evolve into other forms of life? Doesn't this kind of kill Darwin's theory?"

How do you figure?

1) We don't know if there is or was life on mars

2) If the conditions changed faster than the critters could adapt, then they'd be dead before they had the chance to adapt.

[John H K]

Yeah, Comcast doesn't have NASA TV at all (and I live a mile from NASA Goddard).

Cox Cable does but that's only in Virginia. Annoying.

[null and void]

I just got back from a conference on Mars. It sure was cold.

*groan*
