    Well it all depends...If the scientists are all from Kansas they will hardly believe all this nonsense like rocks from space (the heavens don't have rocks, duh!) and really you'd think any major 'rocks from the sky' that would have splashed down in the last seven thousand years would be in the document of histroy (aka The Bible) right? Plus of course with Bush in control of America and his Texan background of belief he'd probably set a requirement that any one setting foot on this Mars place that hes heard so much about would have to be from Kansas or Texas so they could put what they learnt through the excellent education systems provided by those states to good use!
