Hehe!

I wonder what NASA would say about the theory that a "Hyperion object" (100 to about 1,000 kilometer wide rock) smacked Mars and disrupted the atmosphere. :(
I hope they find some cool stuff up there.

p.s. they are probably better off drilling deep into the ground to find microbes on Mars... was reading about Desulfovibrio yesterday and realized lots of germs hide away deep deep down in the rock and soil, away from oxygen and other volatile gases. If Mars has any water under the surface, there should be germs there as well.
