Scientists Make Unprecedented Discovery On Mars

DC:
NASA scientists expressed that they were “stunned” after their Mars Curiosity rover cracked open a rock that was found to contain pure sulfur crystals, a NASA press release read Thursday.

The Curiosity rover’s social media account tweeted that the “pure sulfur … doesn’t smell” and the discovery of elemental sulfur “is something we’ve never seen before on Mars.” more

  1. Why is NASA so surprised? Because they say pure sulfur shouldn’t have been there. Who said so?

    It’s plentiful enough here on earth. The entire universe is made up of the same stuff, so why wouldn’t pure sulfur be in that particular location on Mars? Who knows how the knuckleheads came up with that.

    God continues to serve knuckleballs to these knucklehead NASA scientists. They’re a bunch of clowns in white science lab suits.

    “First it’s Sulphur crystals, next thing you know they’ll crack open a portal to Hell.”

    I already did, and I named it Washington, DC.

    Sorry.

  3. The scientific community likes to remind us, too often, that science is self-correcting because of peer reviews, etc., new discoveries, blah blah, new knowledge, blah blah. Except in the case of new knowledge regarding ID.

    How about self-correcting after it has caused a certain level of human suffering and deaths. Like a ceiling of 10,000 unnecessary deaths? Go over that and it gets shut down.

    Or, in the case of those two astronauts, if they don’t survive, shut down NASA. All NASA has done recently is make promises it doesn’t keep. And it climbed out if its swim lane to hitch a ride on the Globull Warming Wagon.

  4. When I was a kid, my friends and I would ride our bikes into the old Spindletop Oil Field to play and explore. We found giant piles of core samples taken from deep underground by the companies looking for sulfur deposits. The core samples were about five inches in diameter and broken into pieces from a few inches to about eighteen inches long. They were made from layered sandstone and were every shade of gray layered together. They were beautiful. Within this sandstone were clear, brilliant-colored yellow crystals. They looked like yellow diamonds, but it was sulfur. A company called Texas Gulf Sulfur pumped steam deep into the ground to dissolve the sulfur and then pump it to the surface in liquid form. The slurry was pumped into gigantic forms about 100 yards wide and several hundred yards long. When it hardened, the forms were moved up and another layer pumped on top of that. They repeated this up until the block was about sixty feet high. It became one giant block of solid sulfur. It was then scraped apart with bulldozers and loaded onto ships in the Neches River to be sent all over the world. It was a real adventure for us young boys to live near the oilfields. Good times!
