I thought this was an excellent discovery, it really makes me think about the supposed trace fossils they found in that Martian rock a while back...it seems that there may be more evidence for possible "alien" life at least in the past...

In the spirit of getting posts up I thought I would share this and hopefully spark some discussion from all members.

I find it very interesting. I will be watching to see what (if any) conclusions are found.

Sounds pretty interesting. I am with Poppy, wanna see the outcome.

From what I've read recently NASA has been dancing around the idea of fossil or even living micro life on Mars. I think we'll know what their speculating within the year.
