NASA Schedules Briefing to Announce Significant Find on Mars

WASHINGTON - NASA hosts a news briefing at 1 p.m. EST, Wednesday, Dec. 6, to present new science results from the Mars Global Surveyor. The briefing will take place in the NASA Headquarters auditorium located at 300 E Street, S.W. in Washington and carried live on NASA Television and www.nasa.gov.

- Michael Malin -- President and Chief Scientist, Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, Calif.

I have a feeling the announcement will only be exciting to a few scientists and really lame to the general public. If it was Really Big, this would be taking place in the White House.

**OFFICIAL** **CONFIRMED**
