New Mars Rising 

martian lakeAs I mentioned yesterday, "significant findings" from the Mars rover Opportunity will be announced in a NASA HQ press conference today at 1p.m. CST. The conference will be broadcast and webcast via NASA TV. The announcement will relate to the rovers' primary mission to find signs of water that might support life. Per Space.com (though this is couched as possible hyperbole), the announcement will have the potential to change the way people think about Mars.
I'm curious what the announcement would have to be for that to really be the case, or, more specifically, what the odds are that this announcement will have a significant impact on support for human planetary exploration.
That said, I also hope that NASA and the White House have already started preparing for the inevitable political fallout that I'm sure will come from this.
