White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the spin-the-wheel dept.

Veeoh writes "FTA: It would appear that the US President has been briefed by Phoenix scientists about the discovery of something more 'provocative' than the discovery of water existing on the Martian surface. This news comes just as the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) confirmed experimental evidence for the existence of water in the Mars regolith on Thursday."

    Given your characterization, they do an astonishing job of getting reelected. Maybe they use magic.

    Also, it wasn't really that the crude bothered me, it was being disappointed in the wrapping of an insult in a joke that wasn't very funny.

    Do you have a few million dollars to 'donate' to get what you want? No? Well, neither does a vast majority of the US population. Money is all the US government listens to, the lobbyists are just mouthpieces.
