Going there and drilling is going to be the only way to find out. If this teaser does prove out, hopefully it will speed up the funding process for NASA's Deep-Drill Lander.
Ah, we have motive for the announcement... How many recall NASA's announcement not long after the Viking landings on Mars, where the experiments on the scooped up soil "indicated the presence of life," only to be later withdrawn? Most will remember NASA's announcement concerning the martian meteorite found in Antarctica not too many years ago–a similar occurrence. I'll wait and see on this one. It's interesting, but I am largely skeptical. Jim ---- Jim Cobb james@cobb.name
