So basically they (SAM) found something in the soil on mars and want to announce / share something mind blowing but they need to be sure first and therefore not telling anything.... Little disappointing for now but going to keep an eye on it, can't wait to ''see'' what they discovered

i hope they didn't found Elvis

Nope, he went home to Pluto.

[Mr. Charles 22]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed :cool:

[krycek 349]

They found a Space Jockey.

[-Paladin- 10]

They found a anal probe!

[maddogx 13]

Unfortunately, these things have a tendency to be less than mindblowing, at least compared to all the hype. Whenever NASA announces an interesting find, the entire internet explodes with an almighty "o mi GAWD it's LIFE on MARS!", but then it turns out to be some funky doodad residue that means there may or may not have been volcanic activity on Mars, or something.

Long story short, I'm keeping my expectations low this time. ;)

I agree.

Although like many these days on their travels, I suspect they "found themselves".

[Maio 293]

Ruins containing ancient databanks full of schematics and coordinates to a mass acceleration space station located within our solar system and probably encased in ice... or bust :)

I lol'd

For those who don't get it, that's Mass Effect.

This oughta be interesting. There´s many things I know that could be involved in this, all are exciting. However, I actually hope it will be something that nobody is expecting at all, but that is equally exciting as all known possibillities.

I should try and keep an eye on this.

[vilas 477]

i know, i know,

they have found big box full of CDs with 2010's edition of Duke Nukem Forever and some Starcraft:Ghost DVDs

[GRS 10]

It's an alien telescope that they used to find signs of intelligent life on Earth finally!

Would have a hard time finding that if they came :p

[rangerpl 13]

Probably bacteria or some shit like that

[oxmox 73]

In an article its written the data they found is from their SAM (Sample Analysis at Mars), maybe they found something organic. There are rumors they found organic molecules. A while ago they allegedly found Methan but wasnt later a positive detection.

Yeah I know that people wished there would find something like in Prometheus.....nah better not :eek:. But some kind of fossil would rock the socks.

[Thundertome 1]

Nothing. They always find nothing.

[slatts 1978]

But how do you find nothing?

my guess... they found a chemical that may be associated with life.... but then again it can form in other ways... mind blowing...

[instagoat 133]

Looks like they have scaled back from "Mindblowing" to the find being merely "Interesting".

Still, no details on what this formerly "For the history books" now "Interesting" find is.

I am still excited, anything we find is another piece in the puzzle. The public will be disappointed, however, which I worry about.
