There is some potentially exciting news from the Curiosity rover – according to John Grotzinger, principal investigator for the mission, analysis of the first soil samples has produced some provocative results.

In an interview posted this morning in an article on the NPR web site, Grotzinger explains that the findings have come from the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instruments which have been analyzing the first soil samples just delivered to the on-board laboratory.

Referring to the results as “earth-shaking,” Grotzinger says, “This data is gonna be one for the history books. It’s looking really good.” He adds, “We’re getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting. The science team is busily chewing away on it as it comes down.”

So what has Curiosity found? It’s worth noting that this preliminary news comes from the mission team itself, and is not just some vague internet rumour. But we will have to be a bit patient. The information isn’t being publicized yet; the science team wants to continue examining and re-examining the samples to be sure that the results aren’t a fluke. Going by the hints given so far though, it sounds like the science is fairly confident at this point, but noting that it may be several more weeks before the findings are announced.

NASA says they’ve made a discover for the history books, but won’t tell anyone what it is until they’ve taken time to check their results.

What ‘Earth-Shaking’ Evidence Did The Mars Rover Curiosity Just Find?

Did the Mars rover Curiosity sniff signs of life last week? It’s not clear yet, but scientists have definitely seen something interesting. Everyone is keeping mum, but potential findings by the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, one of Curiosity’s prime life-hunting instruments, have Mars-watchers on the edges of their seats.

      They did the same BS with the News… An Indian Probe which struck the moon months before discovered water. Yet they continued to w/o it. Then suddenly America discovers water on the moon *cough.

      Same her, they know whats there…media gets wind of things months in advance and NASA will withhold for months or even years.

      Finally found Jimmy Hoffa!

    • truther357

      We’ll never know….We pay NASA and the USSA media to lie to US!

    • Don't be hating!

      Dirt/LIES/ and pictures from their back yard…Talk about an old construction site full of cement/debris

    • StavoV

      I’m willing to bet, they found Jimmy Hoffa’s body. You know the mob, they can pull off anything when they want to.

      If the government has its hand in something we will never hear the truth. Look at Area 51 enough said..

    • Patriot

      Hmm, let me guess: fossilized poo from an ancient martian creature?

    • Anonymous

      Nah, earth shaking for NASA and earth shaking for me are two different things.
      Earth shaking for NASA is something that can be spun into more funding.

    • VegasAxeMan

      JOHN CARTER!!! :lol:

    • CDC

      NASA is directed by the Brookings Report to never release or disclose any information that could cause public panic. Knowing this, NASA will NEVER release or disclose any actual “Earth-Shaking” news. This will likely be some finding that will allow NASA to justify future FUNDING.

    • FirebrandOne

      They found a coke can

    • Mellissa

      I’m guessing fossil remains of some life form. Any kind of water living being, even to the single celled ones we have here on earth.

      Or some element in the dirt that points to decomposed life forms.

      It is news but wont shatter the minds of the people who refuse to even imagine that some kind of life could be anywhere but on earth.

      Who knows tho it could be a fossil of a larger type, or big foots prints j/k :lol:

    • weasel

      chuck norris’s condom..

    • GuardianAngel55555

      They just need to figure out what lie to conjure up for the public, we will never know the truth, just like all of the other fidings on mars and the fact that they have built base platforms, and landed there years before they let the public know when they used Buzz and said he landed their first, which is A LIE, NASA works for the govn’t therefore they work under the same Immoral UNETHICAL codes and LIE LIE LIE is what we the public will get out of this!

      There is life on Mars. There has been for millions of years. Don’t believe it? Oh well.
      The truth does not require belief. :idea:

    • Apollo is the A/C

      We found molecular evidence of Hydrogen! Yaaaaaaaayyyyy!!!! Such excitement………And all the Geeks became erect.

    • HIDDENTEXTOR

      It is annoying to me that they perform all this rabbit out of the hat rubbish when all along they have been physically going to Mars using “jump rooms”.

      Whatever it is they ALREADY know – they would need this smoke and mirrors act in order to SUBSTANTIATE what they already know.

      Shame of it all is that it is tax payers money all gone to waste

      My superior guess is that they found a twinkie made 40,000,000 years ago and still edible!
