Life on Mars
Water has flowed recently on Mars, according to NASA. Wow! It's stuffed the news agenda on Sky News! Yep, life on Mars and leaving human space junk behind is more important than General Mike Jackson's comments regarding the MoD, the Iraq Study Group report or Gordon Brown's budget speech.
Makes a change from poisoned spies at least.

Yes, that and the thought of having a colony on the Moon by 2020. By then I'll have popped my clogs I suspect so its unlikely to mean much to me.
I'm still not too sure why we are so excited by this news...
Few if any of the planets within our reach are capable of sustaining life. We are fortunate that the Planet Earth has the elements that allow life of any importance to survive but again, this planet will at some point whatever we do to stop the banging on about Global Warming one day fail us or continue by adapting in its own way by having new species starting up or established ones dying out.
Of course we should take care of our home here and try and make it last as long as possible but I think in many ways this easy description and the way politicians and the media have jumped on the bandwagon is tiresome.
Report the story and let the public decide but sadly the reporting is so one sided it is not unbiased.
Some of the things happening have always happened and will in the future. And the Earth will as with all planets go through cycles.
Some reknowned scientists still insist that the Ice Age has still not totally passed we are still living in it.
It was only a few yaers ago experts suggested the Ice Age was to return. No one knows...at best much of what is said is guess work and I feel like saying its the old adage...say something often enough and it will be believed.
