The latest findings on the break down of the organic compounds: A senior scientist confirms the lab results - "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun..."

James.Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Btw, according to other articles including the nasa one, they found complex chemicals, but not organics.

Looks like Monsanto got there first. They'll have to be "organics in conversion". Originally Posted by Bruno

Probably some dude from Bangladesh hid in the wheel wells thinking it was a free ticket to Canada. He fell out on mars and died and the remains were found.

Very cool but sounds like they are opening up a new can of worms. For example, did the rover bring it over or was it other space debris. I would hope they find support for it because all the rovers would be is some nerds expensive science fair project. Well, maybe the tech used will have some more practical purposes too. I mean we are not colonizing any planets in near the future.

It is highly unlikely that organic compounds would travel to mars on the rover.
They kinda take care to avoid possible contamination

Everyone (on earth of means) should pay a 'science tax' to fund these sorts of things - weather they find Martian metropolises or pretty dirt it's a damn sight more important to human development than most of the things we spend $8 on

I think $8.00 spent on a six pack of craft brewed earthly organics is a better investment.
Seriously - spending $2.5 Billion today, to poke around at martian dirt when people here on Earth are starving, and dying in the streets due to lack of sufficient health care? I doubt people living below the poverty line will be dancing in the streets over this.Last edited by honedright; 12-09-2012 at 02:06 AM.
