Mars Exploration Program Landing Sites
I hadn't seen this site before, but it's really nifty.
"After adding 'computer tools' to the 'Marsoweb' Internet site, NASA
scientists plan to ask volunteers from the public to virtually survey
the vast red planet to look for important geologic features hidden in
thousands of images of the surface."
[I like the quotation marks around 'computer tools']
Sounds like giving the public Doug's Academy project!

The New York Times > Science > Kerry Mum on NASA, Future of Space: "Bush's support of NASA took a blow by his own party last week. A Republican-run House subcommittee voted to cut the agency's budget by 7 percent to $15.1 billion next year -- $229 million below this year and $1.1 billion less than what the president wanted.
Coincidentally, the cuts came on the 35th anniversary of Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong's first human steps on the moon."

The New York Times > Science > Kerry Mum on NASA, Future of Space: "Kerry doesn't talk about space on the campaign trail. And while President Bush announced in January a bold proposal that would resume human flights to the moon and eventually to Mars, he almost immediately dropped the subject"

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Ammonia on Mars could mean life
Ammonia survives for only a short time in the Martian atmosphere so it must be getting constantly replenished.
There are two possible sources: either active volcanoes, none of which have been found yet on Mars, or microbes.
