Liquid water exists on Mars, boosting hopes for life there, NASA says

(CNN)Potentially life-giving water still flows across the ancient surface of Mars from time to time, NASA scientists said Monday in revealing a potential breakthrough in both the search for life beyond Earth and human hopes to one day travel there.

While the discovery doesn't by itself offer evidence of life on Mars, either past or present, it does boost hopes that the harsh landscape still offers some refuge for microbes to cling to existence.

"The existence of liquid water, even if it is super salty briny water, gives the possibility that if there's life on Mars, that we have a way to describe how it might survive," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: There's so much fraud. Snerdly came in today 'what's this NASA news, this NASA news is all exciting.' I said yeah they found flowing water up there. 'No kidding! Wow! Wow!' Snerdly said 'flowing water!?' I said 'why does that excite you? What, are you going there next week? What's the big deal about flowing water on Mars?' 'I don't know man but it's just it's just wow!'

I said 'you know what, when they start selling iPhones on Mars, that's when it'll matter to me.' I said 'what do you think they're gonna do with this news?' I said 'look at the temperature data, that has been reported by NASA, has been made up, it's fraudulent for however many years, there isn't any warming, there hasn't been for 18.5 years. And yet, they're lying about it.

They're just making up the amount of ice in the North and South Poles, they're making up the temperatures, they're lying and making up false charts and so forth. So what's to stop them from making up something that happened on Mars that will help advance their left-wing agenda on this planet?' And Snerdly paused 'oh oh yeah you're right.'

You know, when I play golf with excellent golfers, I ask them 'does it ever get boring playing well? Does it ever get boring hitting shot after shot where you want to hit it?' And they all look at me and smile and say 'never.' Well folks, it never gets boring being right either. Like I am. But it doesn't mean it is any less frustrating. Being right and being alone is a challenging existence.

OK so there's flowing water on Mars. Yip yip yip yahoo. You know me, I'm science 101, big time guy, tech advance it, you know it, I'm all in. But, NASA has been corrupted by the current regime. I want to find out what they're going to tell us. OK, flowing water on Mars. If we're even to believe that, what are they going to tell us that means?

That's what I'm going to wait for. Because I guarantee, let's just wait and see, this is September 28, let's just wait and see. Don't know how long it's going to take, but this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda. I don't know what it is, I would assume it would be something to do with global warming and you can -- maybe there was once an advanced civilization. If they say they found flowing water, next they're going to find a graveyard.

11:16 p.m.: Back from commercial break. Noah acknowledges that everyone keeps asking if he’s going to bring more of an international perspective to the show, but no — he’s going to bring an interplanetary perspective.

He shows a clip of Jake Tapper talking about scientists finding free-flowing water on Mars. “Great news for NASA, depressing news for California. Don’t worry, California,” Noah says. “They’ll find water on you too, someday.”

11: 17 p.m.: Roy Wood Jr., Senior Mars Correspondent, is reporting from NASA, but does not care about this announcement. “Leave Mars alone!” he says. “The universe is like an apartment complex, okay? And NASA is just going around knocking on random doors letting themselves in. What, because the faucet works?”

Noah notes that this means people could live on Mars someday. “A brother can’t catch a cab — you think we can a spaceship?!” Wood asks incredulously. “Black people ain’t going to Mars! That includes you, Trevor!”

Just as you are irritated by large pictures that are posted, I find long text posts without paragraph breaks at least as off-putting...

I'm sure that this is the original format in which you found this passage. I sometimes find things I want to post in this run-on format as well, but when I do, I put in my own appropriate paragraph breaks as a courtesy to the readers...

I'll do this one for you:

See how much more readable that is?

A scientific fact is something that can be proven through experimentation to be true beyond a reasonable doubt.

I call bullshit!

oh that s the bad part, limpballs is smart, Kristina is right he is just intellectually dishonest.
