So, there's a bit of buzz about an earth shattering Mars Curiosity

Rover discovery that scientist are making damned well sure that

they get the facts correct.

They won't tell us the details, but we know that the scientists, including

the lead researcher on this project believes the news will be Earth

shattering.

I personally think they've found irrrefutable traces of compounds that

could only be attributed to life.

my mate dave says they have found a big symbol shape on the dark side of the moon along with a vault full of tapes

I reckon they found Jesus hiding under a rock...

A sea of nougat, possibly?

Microbial parasite (because they rule the universe), some other type of dormant microscopic cell, or good ol' h2o.

And this will get moved anyway, which I why I stopped posting space stuff a long ass time ago, even though it's something I read on a near daily basis.

I think those are the most likely but still hoping for something more exiting like a small fossilised insect or something along those lines.

I would love it if it was something totally bonkers, like a bone fragment, or a piece of refined metal.

Why do these threads get moved to P&R? Is it because of the religious' refusal to acknowledge science?

that is nonsense. manu religious people do not refuse to acknowledge science. Creationism is not at all that. Religion is the bridge between science and that which is and that which is yet to be.

I tend to think this is not going to be that exciting. Certinly not proof of life....

If it was proof of life, no way would that be able to be held as secret for so long.
