NASA found something on Mars. Press conference on Thursday.

[Thebobo]

Well here we go again last time it was all hyped up just to tell us something we pretty much already knew. This time it looks to be handled better and nothing has slipped out. So what will it be? It came after they got their drill working on Curiosity again and started drilling.

BTW Curiosity has been on mars for almost 6 years but its nuclear powered. Opportunity has been on Mars for 15 freakin years and its Solar powered with batteries, it was suppose to last 3 months. Those are some damn good batteries to take the temperatures and swings they get and last that long.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has apparently found something intriguing on Mars, and the space agency will unveil the discovery Thursday (June 7).

The space agency revealed few details about what will be announced Thursday, but the "live discussion" will feature "new science results from NASA's Mars Curiosity rover," according to a NASA announcement. Why all the secrecy? "The results are embargoed by the journal Science until then," NASA wrote in the statement.
That means NASA won't release any details until the press conference, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) on Thursday. You can watch the Mars announcement live on Space.com, courtesy of NASA TV. The space agency did reveal the list of scientists who will be discussing the Mars

I hope not cause then it spells the end of the Ancient Aliens show.

 

[Rifter]

With NASA you just never know, this could be anything from nothing at all to pictures of actual aliens looking at the rovers.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Maybe they found a rock, but it's chemical composition is slightly different than another rock. Could this prove that there used to be life? But first, Don Cherry with sports, after the commercial break.

Likely signs of water

Likely signs of water

It is a pretty good distance from the poles so that would be a pretty big deal.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Hopefully "they" won't jump to conclusions on insufficient evidence - like paleontologists do all the time with fossil remains.

If they found fossil remains that would be insane.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Hopefully they have not found any remnants of Uranus.

If they found fossil remains that would be insane.

I really really really hope that's it, that would be an incredible find. Probably too much to ask for though. Probably something more about water, maybe they found that Mars still has bodies of water under the surface.

Plot Twist: Ancient Beings lived on Mars. As the atmosphere started to fade into space, a last desperate attempt was made to colonize Earth with flora and fauna from their home world. The seeders did not survive the attempt but ape like creatures did.

From a /r/showerthoughts post:

"What if Mars has water on it because humans used to live there, but then we messed up the climate so badly that we had to send an escape pod to Earth with only Adam and Eve in it?"

 

[Kwatt]

Hopefully it will be something that will get the taxpayers to get behind a colonization effort.
Once a successful colony is established and paid for, it can be turned over to a corporation that can begin strip mining.

Humans have used up a lot of earths resources and we need MORE!
Think of the profit, no more EPA, no more blathering about endangered species, and no worries about the ozone...

Lot$ of $ to be made there.

That's not a plot twist. That's just the plot of Mission to Mars.

Either water or a Stargate.

Subscribed so I don't miss the big let down.

I don’t believe that we’ve used up a lot of earth’s resources. We just have to be a bit more creative in what we use and how we use them. As I was driving from Palmdale California back to LAX yesterday I thought, what a bunch of unused potential. I’d start by strip mining all of those useless desert mountains. The ‘49ers found gold in those hills, and I’m pretty positive about finding other natural resources there as well. As a side benefit, there would be no more mountains blocking the moisture from the Pacific from reaching the desert. This would also make that desert useable for farming, etc. We’ll call it the Gargantuan Regional Eco Alternative Terraforming Strategy or GREATS for short.

Yea there is some left. But, we are going to need a bit to get to Mars.
