New analysis of 36-year-old data, resuscitated from printouts, shows that NASA found life on Mars, an international team of mathematicians and scientists conclude in a paper published this week.

Of course there is life on Mars... OURS! Sheila Jackson Lee told me so!!
Viking robots found life on Mars in 1976............................... After 976 years? It proves that Viking technology was ahead of its time. And you still do not believe my ancestors arrived in the great Ice Ship?
Actually, with this Administration, the request for more $$$ would be for global warming and Muslim outreach. Can't have any real new frontier symbolism. Call the Russians.
Nope it was SUV's that did it.
Manufactured way of saying “We need more money”.....The impact of not knowing this revelation hasn’t changed anything. You simply cannot believe anything anyone who works for government says anymore, pure and simple.
Subhead - “NASA says they MUST re-investigate. Asks for another $9999999 billion.”
I just sprayed tea across my keyboard....
My understanding of the Scientific Method:
__Construct hypothesis.
__Design experiment to absolutely prove/disprove hypothesis:
____If results = x, hypothesis = true,
____If results = y, hypothesis = false.
__Run experiment.
__Publish results.
__Peer review of methodology.
__Peer replication of experiment validates/invalidates hypothesis or methodology.
__Hypothesis validation/invalidation accepted by scientific community.
The experiment on the Viking lander was designed to prove/disprove the existence of life on Mars. When the results met the criteria that would prove the existence of life, the peer review of the methodology decided that the results COULD be showing something else.
Conspiracy time:
1) So, after the experiment was conducted NASA decides to have best “experts” examine the methodology? Bad management or cover story?
2) In the next 36 years, they couldn’t have found the time/money/platform availability to send up the revised experiment? 36 consecutive years of bad management?
My theory: What is the upside/downside breakdown of being the President that breaks it to the world populace that life does exist on other planets? For a politician’s perspective: I see lots of potential downside, not a lot of upside.
Lets see,,,scientists are nothing but lying pigs trying to get more money with their latest statements about Mars but the NASA folk are as trustworthy as all get out about global warming.

Ditto, the only thing that would have made this better would have been a reference to a “seasoned producer.”
Have you heard about the monolith photographed on Mars?
