NASA teased its news conference about flowing water on Monday with the tag, “Mars Mystery Solved." The agency has said the paper’s release wasn't coordinated with the film and that the timing was coincidental. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-01/nasa-s-mars-pr-machine-goes-into-overdrive "coincidental"???? This is the part where everyone goes into ...suspension of belief. co·in·ci·dence ko'ins?d?ns/ noun noun: coincidence; plural noun: coincidences; noun: co-incidence; plural noun: co-incidences 1. a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection. https://www.google.com/#q=define+coincidence Remarkable isn't it? I'm sure everyone in the above listed newsgroups is in a perpetual state of suspension of belief, cause you cannot enjoy a movie without it, or read a science fiction book (or write one), or believe in Black Holes...(since black holes have never directly been observed by anyone) (or billions of like-earths since there really is no earth 'like Earth'.) Where's the download???? I got one day left to find one....without chineese subtitles that don't come off... I don't mind the FBI warnings...and the acamedy members only stuff...but those chineese subtitles look like martian code. Don't they have chineese words using engish letters??? wat are all those strange sticks... Man who put head on railroad track to listen for train likely to end up with splitting headache.
