"Some scientists believe the 18-inch-high band of layered rocks is cross-bedded in part, suggesting a sedimentary origin that would require the presence of water."

They keep reaching - maybe they'll hit.

I put that rock there. If they would look down they would see my boot prints. NASA is so naive.

A person would have to be blind not to be able to see the layering.

"Look at the wonderful layer cake-structure in there," said Steve Squyres, and fifty-million Atkins dieters groaned in anger.

Together, the pair of 384-pound rovers make up an $820 million mission to prospect for geologic evidence that Mars was once a wetter world capable of supporting life.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting a little tired of the need the press seems to have to keep reminding us how much the mission costs? The price tag is in almost every story.

If they're going to do this I think they should have to report the cost of every government program when they report anything about it, like "Here's our Doppler cam. photo of the four corners area, showing a band of thunder storms reaching from Prior to Fort Smith. The Doppler radar system costs $150 million dollars and covers an area of forty thousand square miles..." People would get sick of that real quick.

OK, when did GW know about these rocks?

And when did he layer them??
