Mars Once 'Drenched with Water,' NASA Says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Mars was once "drenched with water," so much that life could easily have existed there, NASA said on Tuesday.

The robot explorer Opportunity has seen clear evidence of the main goal of Mars exploration -- that water once flowed or pooled on the Red Planet's surface.

"Opportunity has landed in an area of Mars where liquid water once drenched the surface," NASA associate administrator Ed Weiler told a news conference. "Moreover, this area would have been good habitable environment."

和地球上之西西河交相呼应，成牛郎织女之式。天下之奇，莫大于此！

火星上东东河近貌！

火星上岩石被东东河冲刷的痕迹！

探测器在东东河边取样

杀伤武器的影儿都没找到！

WASHINGTON (IWR News Parody) - The Iraq Survey Group (ISG) head David Kay has announced that his team will commandeer the Spirit Rover on Mars in pursuit of Iraq's WMD.

"First off I would like to say that it is only a coincidence that ISG (700 Million) and the NASA budget (820 Million) where about the same.

Unfortunately for tax payers, not only has ISG been able to find any WMD, but we have not been able to find any receipts for the money that ISG has spent to-date.

Frankly, I think NASA's Rover project will have better luck finding life on Mars!

We all know that Saddam Hussein had WMD. After all, the president, vice president and secretary of state, etc. wouldn't lie to the American people would they?

I mean, if they weren't lying, that would mean that this administration is incredibly incompetent, and we can't have people thinking that before an election, now can we?

The president already is embarrassed enough by the Homeland Security and Justice Departments!

Therefore, we need to vigorously keep looking for WMD on Mars, Venus, asteroids, Wal-Marts, Neverland, etc. at least until November 2004 election! After that, who gives a damn," said Kay.
