First Mars Tests Unimpressive

I didn't expect the first tests to return any proof of water (or life) on Mars, but I was hoping for a little more excitement in the results of the first test.

In its first chemical analysis of soil from Mars' northern plains, NASA's Phoenix lander has turned up no evidence of water, scientists said Monday.

Still, researchers remained confident that the craft is in the right place to uncover veins of ice believed to lie only inches beneath the surface.

I have no idea what I was expecting, but I sure wish they would have found something they didn't expect to find there. Expect the unexpected, that's my motto these days.

Who knows though, they still have many tests to do.
