I still have trouble with this martian meteor with life on it theory. It’s just hard for me to see how a meteor leaves a planet. I guess that it’s possible (maybe spit out of a volcano or hit by an inbound asteroid), but still tough to believe. And then we find it, and identify it as a chip off of Mars with fossil evidence. Hmmm? If people would say that to get funding, just think of how much work they’d get if they started making stuff up about climate change.

Wow. This hugh!

This calls for bilking the taxpayers for more funding!

Let me guess, human caused global warming made it possible until humans were forced to move to Earth and then Mars returned to it's natural desolate self.

How much can be taxed from the earners in society to study such a revelation?

Congress has fallen for so many of their scams that they are now bold enough to say something even this rediculous if they think it will get them a grant from the taxpayers.

How many times will it take to keep disproving this rock?

Last time the thing was proved to be a naturally occurring mineral formation. It is real convenient for this rock to crop up every few years when funding is needed.

This story was debunked as I understand some ten years ago.

I tend to believe there is other life in the universe, rather it is rare or common i don’t know.....but i wish scientist would have conclusive proof before they make any bold statements.

This sort of defies the odds.

First, you’ve got to have some really hefty force to propel said rock from the gravitational pull of Mars. That would be a mighty strong volcano or impact, pushing the rock thousands of MPH straight up.

Second, you’ve got to be really accurate to have that rock travel millions of miles to the earth, which from Mars is viewed as a tiny dot in the vastness of space.

The more I observe scientists, they seem to be a credulous lot. Like Kindergarteners being trained to hold hands in a big line as they are led to the lunch room.

Methinks this is all a load of poop. These pics look like chemical formations and not petrified remnants of life from mars, but what the hell do I know. I suppose the ejecta made it out of the gravity well and landed here so someone could speculate, but why mars.....???

Why not a planet or moon from our galaxy or another. There must be similar mineral compositions throughout the universe. There is no mars tag on this rock. It's all pure speculation. They generate questions which generates proposals for more automated projects. We have little more to learn from these about mars, and without a manned program, they are waisting our money and our time.

From now on, all questionable science reports should be met with a reminder of the CRU scandal: “Hide the decline!” I for one will from now on be extremely skeptical of claims made by scientists, unless they are from “hard” experimental sciences like particle physics. No more “just so” stories, especially ones that call for a socialist planetary regime like “climate change” does...

Now, armed with this new information, we may actually be able to determine who were Obama’s progenitors.

Why Mars? Why couldn’t it have been blasted off the Earth a few miles and come back down?
