After the TEGA (Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer) gas analyzer experimentally confirmed the discovery of water on Mars on Thursday, information was leaked to the press that the US president had already been told that something more sensational was discovered on the surface of the planet! And although NASA has so far refrained from commenting, quite a few hypotheses and assumptions have already appeared, the most daring of which are more like clippings from science fiction novels.

Experts believe that the space agency, before making official statements (if, of course, it really does have something to present to the public) will double-check everything twice, consult with the US government and calculate the possible consequences of its move.
The discovery of water on Mars in general did not cause any reactions among people professionally involved in astrobiology, on the contrary, they are very surprised that the news was so widely spread in the media, because the water on the red planet is “found” 3 or 4 times and never The information has not been confirmed. Many scientists speak sarcastically of the coming sensation, for they know that the Phoenix spacecraft simply does not have the necessary equipment to conduct any serious experience.

TEGA (Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer)
Most likely, the latest discovery, so carefully concealed, will not produce a furor in science and will only become a logical addition to all previously obtained data, another peculiar step on the way to truth. One of the main questions today is how water (if it really is) and the “regolith” breed interact inside the planet and whether it is possible to grow earthly plants on Mars, which will be invaluable help for the first human colonies.

UPD: from
Alexlexandr habrahabr.ru/blogs/nlo/38817/#comment_926249It seemed to me that everyone already knows everything.
The noise really was the president of the American specials. messenger sent from NASA.
The explanation is simple:
If so shortly:
August 3 (or earlier)
Rumors spread that NASA was hiding something, something so important that they informed the White House exclusively
5th of August
Lenta.ru: Progress: The soil of Mars turned out to be poisonous

Inopressa: Perchlorates do not cross out the chance to find life on Mars

Additionally:
World News | Mars researchers blamed the press for haste
www.membrana.ru/lenta/?8506What is the essence and what is the secret?
Yes, the NASA Martian Program is a big slice of NASA's financial pie.
And almost their main focus.
And even the president, as a pre-election platform, promised to conduct work on conducting a manned mission to Mars as an indicator of the superiority of American science and lifestyle.
And suddenly it turns out that the planet is not only unsuitable for life and very harsh in climate, but simply poisonous!
Endangered funding! That's all and fussing and ran!
Although at the beginning, I also suggested that protozoan bacteria were found, for example.
Those. a life!
After all, there is a real electron microscope on the probe!
You can see and viruses.
Explanation 2e less obvious:
In fact, found something worthwhile!
(We recall the films "Remember All", "Hangar 18")
And the hype with perchlorates (and their mass of all sorts is available) is just for a distraction.
It is necessary blo to explain something like a hitch with the restriction of access to information
This is especially suspicious, given that NASA professes the principle of transferring all the information received to the public!
I think that the probability of two proposed explanations is the same.
Think further.
