I remain convinced that what a planetary scientist considers "data for the history books", and what the average citizen thinks, are two very different things. Again, Sheldon Cooper will be flabergasted. Most of the world will yawn. Sci-fi fans will say "I told you so." On Nov 26, 2012 4:00 PM, "william baker" <baker464b@yahoo.com> wrote:

I checked with one of my supervisors at JPL asking if she knew what was going on. She said to expect something at the upcoming AGU meeting and provided this URL: 2012 Press Conference Schedule http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/media-center/2012-press-conference-schedule/ Then a few minutes later she sent this: Life on Mars? Maybe not. NASA rows back on findings http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jatX4MrMZgJpnEcPbSVm31ePb... patrick
