- Well, another story about a top secret briefing by NASA
to the White House about a scientific discovery.
-
- In the past, NASA has had these slip outs of information
that they find exciting and we and the press sit on the edge of our seats
only to find out that one would need three doctorates in physics to even
give a darn about the new NASA discovery. That doesn't stop NASA from
teasing us with this type of showmanship and the press eats it up because
they know we can't resist a mystery and a secret.
-
- We humans just love a secret. We can't wait to learn
a new secret after swearing our own secrecy not to divulge it and then
go blab it to everyone we can find. Just slap a big "SECRET"
sign on something and it'll be Katie-bar-the-door.
-
- So, now we have to wait to hear what the Mars Phoenix
Lander has to say next about the mysterious red planet. So far, it's told
us Mars has ice and water. My cousin Elmer discovered the same thing by
looking out his window with his telescope but no one listens to Elmer,
not even his wife.
-
- For some reason this Mars Phoenix Lander could travel
a quarter billion miles to Mars, land, and can only tell us what's in the
dirt on Mars. It wasn't equipped with a device to find life for some strange
reason. That's sort of like sending someone to the Bahamas without shorts.
You just want them to tell you the weather is warm and the beaches are
beautiful but they can't go swimming or sunbathing.
-
- That's government for you. Gotta have that dragged on
suspense and then big secret so some politician can appropriate more funds
to keep us in suspense and mystery. I have a feeling President Bush, the
man who couldn't find Osama Bin Laden will announce something about life
and Mars and all of us will just yawn and go back to more important things
like pestering Congress as to what they're going to do about all the alien
abductions and such that we've been complaining about for the past 60 years
or so.

- Stranger things have happened.
