Big News From Mars? Rover Scientists Mum For Now

17. They will do their usual vague reveal of maybe something

cool that possibly happened which resulted in an interesting rock that perhaps could be a marker for potentially key component to a building block of a portion of life. But they aren't 100% sure.

I'm not slamming NASA but I get really tired of these various qualified comments from them so as not to cause a stir among the religious right.

Show me cool pictures, give me fantastic stats on geology, show me evidence of water (or even water for that matter), give me the results of drilling and atmosphere tests, but please stop it with the vague announcements that are further blunted by, "we can't tell you right now, but, hold on to your seats, we will be able to tell you several months from now!!"

Personally, I preferred the "tweets" from the lander. At least those were humorous and insightful.

Yeah, I'm cranky this morning, "get off my lawn!"
