If these seventh graders found a 'mysterious hole or cave' on Mars apparently with nothing more than a couple pictures and a telescope, perhaps we can install one of them in the white house, another at NASA and one at BP and they can all 'plug the damn hole' since the adults can't manage it
But then again those above mentioned folks aren't really adults, are they?
I don't know, call me cynical, and nothing against the children, as the 'adults' who couldn't find this must have been 'looking at too much porn' like the rest of the government, because this thing doesn't exactly look 'too difficult to find".

A group of seventh-graders in California has discovered a mysterious cave on Mars as part of a research project to study images taken by a NASA spacecraft orbiting the red planet.
The 16 students from teacher Dennis Mitchell's 7th-grade science class at Evergreen Middle School in Cottonwood, Calif., found what looks to be a Martian skylight — a hole in the roof of a cave on Mars.
The intrepid students were participating in the Mars Student Imaging Program at the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University. The program allows students to frame a research question and then commission a Mars-orbiting camera to take an image to answer their question.
The newfound hole on Mars resembled features seen on other parts of Mars in a 2007 study by Glen Cushing, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist.
Cushing suggested that these anomalous pit craters are like skylights — places where a small part of the roof of a cave or a lava tube had collapsed, opening the area below the surface to the sky.
The caves are thought to result from volcanic activity on the red planet. At some point lava channels likely carved out caverns in the rock, and then left behind tunnel, or "lava tubes," when the eruptions were over. They would have been covered when a solid ceiling of cooled material settled on top, and then sections of the ceiling likely collapsed at some point to form the skylight entrances.7th-Graders Discover Mysterious Cave on Mars - Yahoo!

Maybe they had found it before but just wanted the students to feel good about finding something-oh never mind-the government would never lie!!! =-X
ReplyDeleteYou're pretty clever Wifey as that's what I was thinking a little bit as well. But you know thats part of the problem in America today is Americans don't know how to 'earn' anything anymore because the nanny state wants to 'give them' everything, including the answers to 'all the tests' so they learn nothing and become failing adults.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought and again it's not the children's fault it's the do gooders who hurt the children more than they help by giving them what they may not have earned.,
Perhaps not in this case, but then again who knows, you're probably right.
Maybe not bin Ladin, but they should look for intelligent life in DC!
