I apologize if there is already a thread-- I searched but didn’t see one.
Anyone have a guess? I am guessing that perhaps there is evidence of water, past or present-- but I don’t really know. I hope it really is a “major” announcement. I don’t want to wonder all weekend, then be disappointed if it’s something major to NASA but appears minor to us laypeople.
Well, I think they either found the relatives of what sits on the head of Trump or they found who put the metal nuts under the back of the Curiosity Rover.
We have lots of evidence that liquid water was abundant on Mars eons ago. And there’s even some that it exists on (well, under the surface of) Mars today. Old news indeed.
“After many years and thousands of man hours of study, we have now concluded that there is really nothing interesting on Mars. Seriously, there’s fuck all up there apart from some dust and rocks and frankly, we’re just bored of it. We’re all sick of spending our days poring over hundreds of identical pictures of bits of rock. We just can’t be bothered any more.
Therefore, effective immediately, the Mars program is cancelled. Sorry to have wasted your time.”
