White House Briefed On Potential For Mars Life

“The White House has been alerted by NASA about plans to make an announcement soon on major new Phoenix lander discoveries concerning the “potential for life” on Mars, scientists tell Aviation Week & Space Technology. Sources say the new data do not indicate the discovery of existing or past life on Mars. Rather the data relate to habitability–the “potential” for Mars to support life–at the Phoenix arctic landing site, sources say. The data are much more complex than results related NASA’s July 31 announcement that Phoenix has confirmed the presence of water ice at the site.”
