L module Phoenix landed on Mars May 25 The first study published yesterday found that Martian soil contains nutrients essential for the existence of life.

According Kounavis Samuel, head of the wet chemistry laboratory of TEGA: "We found what appears to be necessary for life may exist in the past, present and future, namely nutrient non-organic."

He cited minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium and chloride: "We were amazed to discover that the soil of Mars is similar to that of your garden, where you could grow asparagus smoothly it is very exciting. "

March Phoenix Lander

The scientific team of the mission on Mars has yet to find traces of organic carbon, which is essential to the emergence of life.

"The results of this analysis are also an index that liquid water was present in the soil of Mars at some point in its history." The scientific team was surprised by the acidity of the soil that did not as high, with a pH of 8 to 9.

The small sample was taken with the shovel at the end of the robotic arm of Phoenix, and then deposited in one of the eight TEGA ovens. It was gradually heated up to 1,000 degrees Celsius.
The presence of ice a few inches below the surface was confirmed last week. The leaders of the scientific team have refused to say if a primitive form of life could exist on the Red Planet. The module has three other laboratories on board. AFP

Frank Dixon

The Drone Research Team has had an episode interesting. It can take several weeks of consultations and organization to establish a single operation, and other ongoing research may delay his execution. Both Detectives also had personal stories to resolve.
Since their return to the case of UAVs, we agreed to pursue the trail of the journalist of the "Sentinel" of Capitola, which had received the photos from Rajinder. She left the newspaper of his own, without having finished writing his article.
It is finally in Southern California that it was located. Frank Dixon visited the city earlier this week. It was a fifteen-hour drive back and forth, and he spent three days on the spot.

We had some chances to hear the journalist to respond: "Ah! on this thing noticed in Capitola ... There was only a half-dozen photos, plus perhaps a telephone number of the step-brother of Mr Rajinder this, but I did not keep, sorry ... "
The possibility of finding a phone number was still the threat of being tried. Frank Dixon was warmly welcomed by the parents of the young journalist who had come out at that time.

They ensured that their daughter would remind his hotel two hours later. But he waited in vain all evening.

The next day, he again presented to the family home. The same car was still parked outside the house. But this time, no one has opened. Despite several attempts the next two days, no contact has been restored.

This behavior is surprising: the journalist was aware that a detective had crossed half of California to meet her, and had only one or two questions for him ... but she preferred to hide, by encouraging their parents to do the same!

OnTheFence comments this surprising turnaround: "The whole family seems to be absent from the house soon after the first contact ... That is what happened with key witnesses: they begin by being cooperative, and suddenly become unavailable! "
