Gold Has Been Discovered On Mars! Now what?
Posted: 12-02-2018 09:35 AM
Now what will ONE shiny gold colored rock (found by the once again active, man made, mechanical miracle, named Curiosity) do for the average gold hungry American? 
Well, that rumor started the Gold Rush to California in the 1840's and we may have to wait another 50 years to see the rush to Mars!
The last news we heard about Mars's red dust shutting down Curiosity had it down for the count.
Well now, it's back!

“The planning team thinks it might be a meteorite because it is so shiny. But looks can deceive and proof will only come from the chemistry.
“Unfortunately the small target was missed in the previous attempt, and with the information from that, Curiosity will try again.”
The finding comes in the wake of a “minor post-holiday hiccup” after Thanksgiving, when the rover’s robotic arm “tripped a safety limit”.
However the arm activity was recovered, enabling researchers to undertake a number of science observations in regard to Mars’ bedrock, including the search for meteorites, and monitoring changes in the wind and sediment movement.
Rover's researchers have this week welcomed new Martian neighbor, Nasa’s InSight spacecraft, which touched down on Monday.
But where's the pics in color? 
MK II It's a report anyway!
