Space/Science » in reply to re: Will Phoenix contaminate the surface samples?

I am wondering why...

This has not caused more concern earlier from scientists?

The ambiguouis results from the Vikings should have made
them put together something better, it sounds like. Why
was the most important part of the surface analysis so
last minute?

It almost sounds like they are waiting for MSL to give
scientists real results about organics and life on Mars.

Which almost begs the question, why was Phoenix sent
if it is so limited in getting the answers that MSL will do
a better job at?
