Scientist talks of hunt for life’s building blocks on Mars


I don't know about the rest of you, but I love science. This is the most important expedition for this Mars loving nerd, because they landed in a spectacular area, rich in geological history.

Now like most of you science nerds out there, I'm kind of anxious for some updates from the rover. I know the guys, and gals at NASA, and JPL are busy kicking the tires on it. And I don't blame them for being super-cautious. But come on people! Give me some details. How's the radiation levels? What's in the atmosphere? You told us there is a gadget on the rover that "Sniffs" the air. What does Mars smell like?

We all know if updates don't come in a timely fashion, you leave the door open for our beloved conspiracy theorist to begin making stuff up. So how about it NASA and JPL? If you possibly can, give us at the very least an update on television once a week? I know analyzing data is a tedious task. But no matter what you discover, share it! Help a science nerd out and give some updates. After-all, you landed in a spectacular area, rich in geological history.
