Mars Spirit Rover

Well it seems that the Mars Spirit Rover has uncovered more goodies. This tidbit concerns life on Mars. Well not really. But close. They have found soil that is rich in silica which suggests that water was once pooled in this location. And where there is water, there could be life. For the full story go here, Nasa.gov.

"You could hear people gasp in astonishment," said Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., principal investigator for the Mars rovers' science instruments. "This is a remarkable discovery. And the fact that we found something this new and different after nearly 1,200 days on Mars makes it even more remarkable. It makes you wonder what else is still out there."
