I use to work in a scientific community. The VLA. Ever hear of it.
I’ve seen “science” twisted for political gain over and over again. Ever hear of Global Warming?
This particular rock discovery just happens to be one of those discoveries that seems suspicious. Finding a rock on earth that happens to be from Mars pushes the realm of Art Bell. Is there a made in Mars stamp on the bottom of said rock?
The last time we had a rock (found in Antarctica ~1995) from Mars was soon discredited and the particular department was scheduled to be unfunded.
But but - it’s just not fair - don’t they know that cheating is hard work too?!?! /s
