Something stupid like traces of 'what could have been methane remnants' so the welfare queen scientists can keep their precious NASA obama money.

I too managed to listen to NPR morning edition.
But the full story on this that a sample came back, and when tested it appeared to have traces of methane gas- which is indicative of life. However, there were concerns that it could have been a contaminated supply - that the methane disappeared when it was retested for quality control. But that already happened - so maybe this is a second sample that wasnt contaminated?

Just a big misunderstanding.
Any conspiracy theories?
Remember last week when we told you about how NASA's Curiosity rover had reportedly sent back some very interesting data from Mars in the form of a soil sample that could be, in the apparent words of one of the mission's leaders, "one for the history books"? Yeah, well, now NASA is saying that all the hype is actually just a giant misunderstanding between the scientist and the NPR reporter who interviewed him—a mistake that was then multiplied many times over by each news outlet (again, including us) who picked up the story.
