Will it be the discovery of liquid or ice water, or will they go all the way and declare there is/was life on Mars?

They've found alien life? Just a shame that they all look like Matt Damon!

NASA are going to open a bike park on Olympus Mons, uplifts the lot.

what would be the best wheel size for Mars bearing in mind the lower gravity?

In a brief moment of not being a tool, thanks OP. I hadn't registered this before, quite interested now.

"water and some amino acids"

You mean an astronaut has reached there and spaffed himself all over it?

Whatever is announced I for one look forward to a battle between the UFO Tinfoilers (speculating on what else they found out there) and the Naysayer Tinfoilers who say Mars doesn't really exist. ๐Ÿ˜€

If it's life I'll eat my bike.

Water sounds plausible, and is about the only other "ooh, massive news!!1!" I can think of.

Liquid water as there is water allready but it is frozen

Spiders was a better answer though

True but the difference between liquid water and frozen water is quite significant* and the announcement wont be to tell us something we already know

*Crosses fingers your biology is as good as your chemistry ๐Ÿ˜‰

Well I got through a couple of years playing at Chemistry ๐Ÿ™‚
There is a significance in the state of the water but water frozen or not is still H2O

One of the interpretations of the Fermi paradox says that discovery of life on mars, multi-cellular life in particular, would spell the doom of humanity. The worst possible news, as it would imply that complex life must be common in the universe, yet no one's come to visit [brilliantly explained at [url= http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/fermi-paradox.html ]waitbutwhy[/url]].

So let's hope they've just found a new rock.

I assume that they would be from the same source billions of years ago, so not independent spontaneous creation of life, just one seed source evolving at different rates.

Shergar, Lord Lucan, and all the people who went missing in the Bermuda Triangle?

Is Barry Manilow in your head now? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

The point though is that if we're not unique, we're statistically very unlikely to be one of only two instances of life, even if we came from the same 'seed'.

My money's on liquid water (or at least easily extractable water) but if I get a second wildcard I'm going for a Martian singing 'One Cornetto' on a martian canal gondola ๐Ÿ˜‰
