    They found a demand from the PRS for broadcasting music from Mars back to Earth.

    Plastic/Oil weird type of thing.

    Sounds like if there is oil on Mars thats it - Lets start a War on Mars! Time to get the troops in to get that oil quick, I wonder if that actually does start the American space race again this time to Mars.

    Plastic is a pretty amazing discovery! As that link says, our only understanding of plastic is that it comes from petro-chemicals, and that as far as we know only comes from biological material.

    No Organics Yet For Mars Rover Curiosity, NASA Warns | Popular Science

    im confused now

    I cant find the link for the plastic story from the press release front page has it been buried?

    Here is the story from the press release page http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/newsr...20120928a.html and its different, no mention of plastic
