...the results will be announced during the upcoming American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco, which runs from December 3-7.

What exactly the discovery is still isn’t known, but most knowledable space experts are saying it likely has to do with organic (carbon-based) molecules, since it is the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instruments involved, which are designed to look for organics in the soil among other things. ...

Well, there is clearly a small lake in the background behind Curiosity. Probably a sailboat too if you look closely enough....

BTW, didn't we have a thread for this already?

From the article:

Whatever Curiosity has found, it is not evidence for life on Mars. It can't be. Curiosity is not designed to look for life. Grotzinger has stated this himself. In a Nasa video about the mission, he says, "Curiosity is not a life detection mission. We're not actually looking for life; we don't have the ability to detect life if it was there."

And this mission cost how much? For the money American taxpayers are paying for these missions, it BETTER be able to detect life, offer it a drink, automatically create a Facebook account for it and post its family pictures on the web. . Seriously though, if I were to guess the announcement?

REVEAL: They have found the presence of LIQUID water. (prediction)

#2. To be honest I thought this scheduled announcement was new. I guess this time they're actually going to give us something concrete; probably something like this:
