Look how that Daily Mail article begins (as they do virtually all articles whenever something looks like there is a slight chance of something like water in space):

Striking new images of the Red Planet have raised hopes life could be found on Mars after all.

First of all, even if it were possible for all the machines neccessary for even the most simple forms of life to somehow all come in to existence and come together at the exact same time (because if one thing is off, the entire thing fails) in water and without any design or influence, simply seeing water doesn’t mean it will happen. I don’t believe it’s possible in the first place, but even if it were, the chances (ah, “chance” and “time”, the Gods of evolution) of it happening are so slim it’s laughable. But just because it’s part of the Darwinist religion here, the brainwashed massese have been convinced that water=life.

Am I the only one who sees how ridiculous this is? This is as frustrating as reading constant discoveries that fly in the face of evolutionary theory, having the entire article talking about the real science and discovery, only to have them close with some obligatory evolution line like “… shows that it evolved quite differently than we had initially thought” or “… evolved much quicker than we though”, or any number of other similar and ridiculous comments.

Report the science, and leave the fairytales to Disney.

stringers they have on Mars. Maybe even Uranus

… worse than dingleberries

If it were not for the redistribution of wealth favored by the democraps in the 1960’s and 70’s we would already have a manned presences on the Red Planet.

The legacy of the Democrat Party: Welfare for a few instead of scientific advances for all.

Now where did I put that can of sandworms?

Scientists say they have photographic evidence that suggests liquid water may have been on the planet as little as five years ago. (from the Daily Mail Article)

They got nothing. The article say “may have been” …. maybe water …… maybe as little as five years ago. They have no clue. If this is their idea of a big find, they must be hurting.

Flowing water on Mars from….GLOBAL WARMING ON MARS! Quick give Al Gore a one-way ticket to Mars so he can “save the planet”. vcferlita

Yup. It’s worse than we thought. Our SUVs are causing GALACTIC WARMING! Look for Pluto to melt away completely. At this rate, in 2 years, Algore will have become so hot, he will implode in upon himself opening up a WARM HOLE, which will revolutionize interstellar travel and give us valuable access to even cheaper labor. S’all good.

I hate to write the next in the same comment…but can’t help myself…

Ahmadinejad will hold a conference soon, with 50 experts, to conclude if this is true or not. Mars scientists will be barred for objectivity’s sake.

No it won’t. The NASA budget is 0.7% of the overall federal budget. Compare that to 33% spent on social programs. Back a few years ago when the Mars polar landers malfunctioned, everyone was complaining about how much of a waste of money it was. Each American spent about .50 cents for that probe. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t mind .50 cents of my tax money going for space exploration.

Exactly. The space programs have been the catalyst for our country’s technological advances. Nano tech, high-speed computers, random ingenuity- all come from the abstract problems posed by space exploration. It’s a brilliant way to employ people, keep our country on the cutting edge of science and engineering and keep young people’s interest in science and engineering.

It’s the best use of tax dollars aside from protecting our nation-although much of NASA’s work has been used in our defense systems throughout the years. Bravo on this interesting discovery.

The only problem is getting all that power back here…

Plastics….

You see–that isn’t water NASA discovered…IT’S OIL!!!

Kodos: “Hahahahaha! If they only knew that their ‘water’ is the stuff we vomit from our eyes.”

the real question is

when will Walmart open

HaHa, that is funny.
Send the first manned probe without supplies, look at the money it would save us.

Writing in the journal Science, the researchers led by Michael Malin said the properties and settings of the deposits in the gullies are consistent with water flow.

Wow, had to read that twice…any relation? /kidding)

Anyway, I’m telling the wife I’m going fishin’, back in a decade or so.

Marvin The Martian has a whole host of space age tools to aid him in his efforts. The Illudium Pew 36 Explosive Space is part of his arsenal. Marvin The Martian’s Disintegrating Pistol is also a tool of his trade. Beware, it can also shoot in reverse! Marvin The Martian also has an army of 10,000 Instant Martians (“Just add water”). But those intimidating, gangly warriors have been known to fall off the sides of space stations and disappear forever.

Somehow, then MSM will have some yokel wearing bib overalls on the camera saying:

Aww, we gatta fix da problems down here before we go up there.

You watch, it’ll happen.

I can’t think of a better way to spend my tax dollars than to get to Mars!
