Curiosity spots artificial light source on Mars, but it probably isnt alien life
2014-04-09 15:02:41| Extremetech
Curiosity appears to have discovered... a Martian campfire. NASA, of course, says it's nothing of the sort -- rather than an indication of extraterrestrial life, it's probably just a bright spot caused by the sun reflecting off a rock, or errant cosmic radiation striking the camera's sensor. A prominent ufologist, however, claims that it's an artificial life source, and that "NASA could go and investigate it, but hey, they are not on Mars to discovery life, but there to stall its discovery."

A tax on sugar would punish the poor for the 'sin' of enjoying the odd Mars bar

Remember that 1990 movie Crazy People, in which Dudley Moore and a bunch of mental patients take over an advertising firm? (Ah, the days before political correctness!) The lunatic asylum inhabited by Moore and his mates starts churning out brutally honest, sometimes bawdy adverts, free of the euphemisms and exaggerations PR men normally use to hawk their wares and campaigns. Their slogan for a Greek travel agency, for example, is: "Forget Paris. The French can be annoying. Come to Greece. We're nicer." Who could argue with that?
US, France Team Up for Mars Mission
2014-02-12 18:35:34| TechNewsWorld
While the U.S. and France haven't exactly been chums when it comes to tech, the two countries are teaming up for a new mission to Mars. The plan is to send an unmanned lander to Mars to study the interior of the planet. The mission will launch in 2016, with the lander touching down six months later. At least that's the plan. France and the U.S. have had plenty of digital disagreements of late.

Curiosity captures rare photo of Earth from the surface of Mars, 100 million miles away
2014-02-07 14:14:54| Extremetech
Mars rover Curiosity, which is now roughly half way to its final destination, has taken a brief pause to look up at the sunsetting sky and take a photo of Earth. In the photo above, Earth is roughly 99 million miles away -- and if you squint, you can also see the Moon. According to NASA, if you were walking on the surface of Mars, the Earth and Moon would be visible to the naked eye and would appear as "bright evening stars." This is only one of a handful of times that Earth has been imaged from more than a few thousand miles away. It's always rather humbling to see Earth -- that mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam -- just sitting there, tiny and insignificant, dwarfed by the grandest of black expanses.
