This is as I predicted,

what I predicted was, NASA's funding is going to be cut by Barack Obama,
NASA's best way of getting the support of the public for more funding will be to release some things they wouldn't have released under McCain.

Life on Mars? When long dead microscopic life was discovered in a Mars rock NASA was such in denial that they basically said life on Mars is impossible, every single NASA MARS special I've ever seen has said the same, why the sudden change? Why is NASA embracing the possibility of LIFE ON MARS? Barack Obama wanting to cut NASA funding, that's the only reason, Barack says he wants to focus on Earth, that's his excuse to cut NASA funding, and this economy really does need to be focused on, but
I hope the moon missions BUSH planned will still happen.

The more Barack cuts NASA funding, the more NASA will attempt to gain the support of the public by releasing possibly top-secret data that they've been holding onto for just such an occasion.

I don't doubt NASA knows there is life on mars, has footage of UFOs, ancient architecture? I don't think so, but it could be.

I had a hunch when Viking landed - look what happened there.

Are those results accurate now that life has been detected?

NASA lies too much.

I don't trust a damn thing that comes out of there. I'm still skeptical about this announcement.

*If this is true - then the Viking Data was indeed confirmation of life and is now proof of over thirty years of lies and embezzlement...

Considering those tests were somewhat primative, which literally used a chicken soup to see if any reaction would occur from the samples taken, was at best a 50/50 chance of finding anything. And there were months of debate on those findings, even NASA bounced back and forth with the results.

But with the new data, there is something to compare. And there is far more data to work with. Viking was a good probe, but very limited in its abilities.

However, as I was saying before..NASA's silence speaks loudly. And now when they make the announcement, that will confirm more than one thing.

1. They lied.

2. They knew all along...and lied.

3. They have to tell the truth before someone else does and puts NASA in its place...under the very bright scrutiny light.

All this time its been nothing but NASA. But now that other nations can, and will send their own probes to Mars, they must begin that "healing" process before its too late. These other nations no longer have to rely on what NASA dictates what is out there. They will find out themselves, and not play the lie game, and come back with data that will make NASA the biggest target of world wide ridicule ever.



Cheers!!!!

They can tell a lot based on atmospheric data. As in they can have confidence that there is life on mars, but until they get a rover up there to scoop away and analyze some microbes, it's just not responsible to conclude it's there.

Think of it like walking in on a man covered in blood, a dead person on the floor, and he's holding a knife. I mean, you shouldn't conclude he did it, but he probably did

Interesting post, has anybody checked out the NASA kids section? Isn't it nice to know what they are teaching kids? And as far as the truth, they've it's in amongst all the BS, you just have to know what your listening for.

I will await until "NASA" announces this on live TV before I get excited. If the article is true and "NASA" announces it on live TV, I'd be in quite a festive mood to say the least. Finally more people would begin to accept those who believe/know that UFOs have and are visiting our planet.

That would indeed seem to be the reasonable thing to do.

I thought you said you would wait?

Yes, if "NASA" announces it on live TV then "finally more people would begin to accept those who believe/know that UFOs have and are visiting our planet."

For all we know life on mars could be like earth...much like earth matter of fact..we know nasa touches up those images. Who knows what else they change.

i cant honestly see why this is so important...anyone who thinks about this subject seriously for 2 minutes will say there has to be life all throughout the universe..we know of very few planets and we know one of them has got advanced life on it.

It's monumental. We don't know that life exists throughout the universe its just seems to people like you and I that it is totally unfeasible for it not to be. There has been no proof to date only conjecture or a belief that the military have been covering up UFO visits etc. No concrete irrefutable evidence. Without that evidence the theories that we are alone give the religious extremists something to wave in our faces. Now they can't. In fact many many theories have to be scrapped and many religions face ridicule. That will have a profound effect, although a violent one in some cases unfortunately.

The odds on life elsewhere now becomes very high. So high in fact a bookie won't take the bet!

It also opens up the possibility for UFO disclosure to be treated with respect by the press and not disdain. This then leads to pressure for full disclosure to be made a fact not a hope.
