The only way we're ever gonna get there is by the USS Enterprise, which obviously isn't gonna happen. If there are E.T.'s and UFOs they are probably tens if not 100s of light years away.

We are so desperate to look and sound like we are on the verge of something historical. Find the planet that E.T.'s and U.F.O.'s are living and breeding a most powerful civilization. Tell us something we should be informed about with respect to our galaxy. Why are you telling us something our gov. has known for years.

Salt can be formed from geologic processes, and fluids eroding geo-strata, but definitely not a guarantee of life. We will find the evidence for life we are looking for, but salt deposits are not it.

Another reason why funding for Spirit and Opportunity should be INcreased, not decreased.
