>In case you haven't already heard, it looks like NASA has discovered
>liquid water
>on the surface of Mars. If true, this is a tremendous discovery: higher
>possibility
>of life on Mars, access to water for future human missions, and all that
>good stuff.

>But as you're spending the next week excited at the possibilities, and
>deluged
>from all sides by a frothing media, please understand that almost everything
>you're reading, watching and hearing is rumor, hearsay and speculation.

>The story began when Keith at Nasawatch (http://www.nasawatch.com) posted
>a quick
>comment that he'd heard about a major news announcement coming from NASA;
>something
>to do with Mars. He later followed up with a little more information. And
>that's
>the sum total of what we know. NASA has an official press conference
>scheduled
>for June 29th, but until then, they're completely silent on the matter.
>
>So, take it all with a grain of salt (even what I tell you can't be trusted).
>Until NASA has its official press conference, please feel free to use your

>creativity to decide what's been discovered on the Red Planet, then get your
>friends to quote you - that's what we're all doing.

>LIQUID WATER FOUND ON MARS?
>-------------------------
>NASA is expected to announce next week that it has discovered evidence of
>liquid
>water on the surface of Mars. Using the Mars Global Surveyor, NASA scientists
>peered into the deepest canyons on the planet - places where Mars' low air
>pressure
>might be high enough to support liquid water during the warmer summer. If
>confirmed,
>this is a discovery of enormous importance, as these regions of liquid water
>would have the best chance of containing life. An official press
>conference has
>been scheduled for June 29th to announce the discovery.
