Im reading on NASA's site that after they found methane everyone is going absolute nuts about life and how Urey is going to work there, a lab in a box indeed, this vehicle is going the first attempt to understand.

As with all scientific missions it just raises more questions than answers, without astounding amounts of tax payers hard-earned $ it fails, NASA just got two billion to further Urey's efforts. Go Urey!

Woo, go Urey!

Urey: Mars Organic and Oxidant Detector can detect the faintest traces of life's molecular building blocks and analyze whether they were produced by biological processes. The NASA-funded instrument is being developed for the ExoMars mission in 2013.

WoW!

NASA needs a bailout.

when i heard methane was found in mars i really started to believe even more there are aliens. i just think its an awesome discovery and might change the way we look into other planets. who nows, it migh be our next home

They probably only found methane because one of them had the farts.

Oh wow. But I think there is some form of life on Mars. Let's face it, if a 16 year old chavvy slut can give birth to a baseball hat wearing baby in a council house filled with marijuana smoke, then surely these advanced micro-organisms can take a bit of heat and an odd atmosphere.

The radio item I heard was "they found gas that could either be caused by life or by volcanos". I know which one I'd put my money on first!
