NASA News Conference on Mars~~~ Live Thread

Fox | March 2 2004

[Dog]

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

Then Darwin has been exposed.
There should have been some sort of evolvable, if undeveloped, life of some sort for the Big Bang to exist beyond theory.

[leadpenny]

Yeah, they play to what they think is the lowest common denominator.

[leadpenny]

Got the realplayer from NASA now. Thanks.

[Miss Marple]

I AM SO MAD!!!! I DO NOT CARE ABOUT KOBE!!! I CAN'T GET NASA TV ON THIS SATELLITE SYSTEM!! MY SON'S COMPUTER CAN'T PROCESS VIDEO!!

I would appreciate someone telling me any further information from the press conference. I am dying to know all of the information and I am so disappointed in our television news people!

[mabelkitty]

Is it salt water or fresh water?

New contender for the "most incoherent sentence in FR history" award?

[leadpenny]

I think he goes back to the very beginning.

Mars and Earth ...are apples and oranges.....Mars could have evolved differently.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm sure several planets have evidence of water.

I'm wondering if the questions are: Did it sustain life? or will it sustain life, i.e., is it post evolution or pre-evolution.

Anyone know an estimate on the age of mars in comparison to the earth?

There was drenching amounts of water on Mars. Extrapolating to life and the Big Bang is unscientific.

What instruments are on a rover?

Spacecraft: Surface Operations: Instruments

Links to some of the instruments used to arrive at results this fellow is talking about.

[mabelkitty]

What's not to understand?
Bang, spark, life, evolution.

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

I'd rather look at rocks in my back yard than see Kerry and Edwards on the hustings.

the age of mars in comparison to the earth

Formed at the same time. The whole solar system formed together.

The Marlin fishing is great on Mars. I caught a 12,000 pounder on 10 lb test.

Unfortunately, they are not saying there is life or evidence of life. They said the El Capitan site was affected by ground water and was once suitable for the formation of life. They haven't found any evidence of life. There is extensive discussion of mineral formation processes in water. They are sure there was liquid water at one time.

Spectroscopy guy says the rocks are full of Epsom salts (but more dehydrated than the Epsom salt you can buy in a store.)

Rock is 40% Epsom Salt.

Thank you for posting this. Fox News stayed with the NASA press conference until the conclusion was stated of "evidence of water on Mars." However, the NASA conference is continuing on the NASA channel itself, gavel to gavel.

For all you techies out there who can follow the chemistry and geology presented, this is as fascinating as a two-headed calf.
