Washington: The Curiosity Mars rover has made a potentially explosive discovery, but NASA scientists are keeping it under wraps to double-check the spacecraft's calculations, RIA Novosti reported.
Chief mission scientist John Grotzinger told National Public Radio that the possible discovery, gleaned from a sample of Martian soil collected by the six-wheeled vehicle, will "be one for the history books". "It's looking really good," he said.
But Grotzinger, a geologist at the prestigious California Institute of Technology, added that NASA scientists are taking every precaution to verify the data collected by Curiosity, which was launched late last year and landed on Mars in August.
The news follows on the heels of what scientists earlier thought was the discovery of methane - typically a sign of living organisms - on Mars, Grotzinger said, only to determine later that the air likely accompanied the spacecraft from its Florida Launchpad.
He added that NASA would convene a press conference in early December to reveal the results of Curiosity's research.
HERE'S THE SECRET!!!
Gas Buddy reporting gas @ $.09 & diesel @ $.07 on Mars!
Rumor has it EPA has booked 7000 lawyers and assorted loons on Russia's next flight in a desparate attempt to nip potential economic growth on Mars in the bud.
