I wonder what it could be?

It'll lead to the discovery that Hitler was of extra terrestial origin and thus explaining his dark charisma.

Mars rover discovers something historic.

X-Com on sale on steam.

Complete coincidence or U.S. Army training exercises?
Yeah, complete coincidence.

Didn't NASA used to have PR guys who could say things like "If you can't say what the discovery is for a couple of weeks, keep your fucking mouth shut"?

My bet is evidence that they're used to be life.

Or masses of some precious metal, ore or crystal.

I saw someone speculating about oil which would just be nuts.

The whole point of this site is that it had running streams coming down the mountainside. And I don't think the discovery is they found evidence of the running water itself, since they already found that before.

It's interesting that it's been such a year for monumental discoveries or even misfires... the Higgs Boson, past life on Mars (or present life! as long as we're speculating), an Earth-like exoplanet & a rogue planet, the highest freefall jump, transit of Venus, detection of dark matter (apparently), the faster-than-light neutrino fiasco thing, quantum waves confirmed for massive molecules with over 100 atoms, first release of complete diagram of a mouse brain comes out, autonomous cars authorized for street use... Seems like a bigger year than most anyway.

Of course it's been big, since it's the last year ;)

I don't know, 1982 seemed bigger somehow.

I'm sure it's related to Zak McKracken. Or at least I hope it is.

Soil sample, right? They've probably found new microbial life. The delay in announcing what they've found, if that assumption is true, is them checking that these weren't bugs imported from good ol' mater terra.
