Meh...

Biogeochemist is in the panel. Maybe something interesting after all! [yes]

TBH Nasa likes to make a huge deal about everything, likely it'll be something like "We've found the atmophere has 1% more CO2 than we previously thought".

[tarmpriopay]

More likely something about the soil/ground structure, with two geologists as well on the board.

[st01en_lox]

Indeed.

Finding ice/water has been huge thing for NASA. Maybe something to do with that. (note: Biogeochemist)

[minowz]

Hopefully its something cool enough to get their funding restored.

[adactthrd]

That would be in their best interest, lol.

Possible flowing water in Mars!!!! Amazing!

Awesome, now are those 2 rovers still alive up there ?

[adactthrd]

I wonder if there will be bacteria in the water, they should send a probe to Europa as well that digs through the ice.

On Mars, which is where the excitement is coming from

Unfortunately they lost Spirit It last served as a stationary post when it got stuck, they then lost contact with it for the martian winter and never heard from it again, its power reserves went too low and also could not be repositioned to maximize the chance of keeping the solar panels clear, it basically froze to death in the winter.

Updated OP.

Should have dropped rover in cydonia then and drove around the pyramids then.

Out of interest EsPeHil85, if we found self-ware intelligent beings underground on Mars (highly unlikely but certainly possible) would that have any effect on your belief on the way mankind was created?

We were told to leave Europa alone, the rest of the solar system is ours to explore.

Told by whom?

[tarmpriopay]

The black obilisks*, IIRC.
