Science...

Some science, some media hysteria.

7 months after liftoff, we've another Mars orbiter flitting around the red planet. And while it won't land, it will slowly slip into a low orbit making all sorts of cool observations as it goes along. This is fact.

Tha fantasy is what's going on around Saturn. ENCELADUS is in the Saturnian moon system. Enceladus sports geysers. In all liklihood, the geysers have nothing to do with anything resembling water, but scientists eager to confuse a dumb media are doing just that, so brain-dead entities such as AOL are featuring the likes of:

LIFE ON SATURN??????????????

Get them any more confused and they'll begin extrapolating. Then, like cute kids and moronic journalists we'll see even dumber headlines:

SCIENTISTS SAY SATURNIAN WATER MIGHT TASTE BETTER THAN EARTHS...OPRAH PETITIONS NASA TO BRING BACK ENOUGH FOR A SURPRISE AUDIENCE GIVE-AWAY!!!!
