Mars

[Anonymous No.7548699]

>NASA will detail a major science finding from the agency’s ongoing exploration of Mars during a news briefing at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 28 at the James Webb Auditorium at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and the agency's website.

A brief question-and-answer session will take place during the event with reporters on site and by phone. Members of the public also can ask questions during the briefing using #AskNASA.

Considering there are no biologists or experts on possible extraterrestrial life, this will most likely be about a geological discovery. And no matter how major of a finding it is, we won't be able to benefit from it for atleast a decade.

We won't find any new elements on Mars.

We will find new elements on Venus though, a long-lost relative to Helium. It's called Shelium, and it will bring about a new wave of policy and temperament to science. It will be allow for huge improvements in all industrial applications that currently use Helium as well, because Shelium only costs 78% as much to use industrially as Helium.

Shelium is highly unstable though, so is not suitable for long-term applications that Helium does, nor is it suitable for use outside isolated environments, because it forms bonds quickly and carelessly and can compromise the usefulness of other (otherwise stable) elements.

My guess is that it's gonna be one of the following:

* not only did they find water in significant quantities, but they also discovered where it went, and why it went there in the first place

* they discovered what happened to Mars' internal dynamo which turned off its magnetic field

* they discovered some form of life near ancient water flow

* they discovered that plants can grow easily on Mars

* gold, oil, hydrocarbons, and/or other financially lucrative resource has been discovered, thus making any trip to Mars highly profitable and self-financing

I'm honestly guessing it's the first one, maybe the second.

Obviously they would tell us.
If they didn't tell us, there would still be a large chance of the public finding out (leaks, independent space agencies, etc.), which would probably cause uprisings against the government for holding back such information.

The only reason they wouldn't tell us is if they had aggressive plans towards intelligent extraterrestrial life, which they would probably see isn't wise.

Technically, it can only happen very briefly. Atmospheric pressure at "sea level" is not enough to permit stable bodies of water to subsist on Mars.

Liquid water can exist at that atmospheric pressure, but only within a pretty fine temperature range due to the fact that it's pretty much at its triple point. However, because it's SALT water that has been found, the salinity of the water means the freezing point is lower than usual, meaning it has a larger range in which it can exist as a liquid.

it's a 100% PR move. They've known this for years but need to hype it up for the general public. Because you know, NASA relies entirely on public funding.

Not necessarily. Brine deposits on earth do not support life.

exactly the opposite, brine water is a no-no for life

Obviously they don't spend it on public education.

Finding liquid water on another planet is a pretty huge discovery, if you ask me.

> what happened to landing on the moon and shit?
That was expensive, and they don't get that kind of budget anymore.

>what do they do with all that money?
What money? Everything in space is expensive, and their budget is peanuts.

Damn straight it is. Combine this with other observations like methane hotspots, probable fossil traces in meteorites and the certainty that meteorites from Earth landed on Mars too, likely with microbe cargo, and we have a very real case for life and/or panspermia. It's one thing to imply this stuff but this is science, which requires evidence.

Yes, heavens forbid that NASA try to get even a 1% increase to their budget.
