Scientists at NASA or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration claimed that they were "flabbergasted" by their discovery on the possibility that life could grow on Martian soil. Thermal and evolved gas analyzer, will be used to determine if organics are present in Martian soil. "It is the type of soil you would probably have in your back yard, you know, alkaline. You might be able to grow asparagus in it really well. ... It is very exciting for us," said Sam Kounaves, the lead wet chemist at NASA. The discovery was made after the Mars Phoenix Lander scooped up Martian soil and placed it int the MECA Wet Chemistry Lab for analysis. A small lab-in-a-tea-cup that analyzes for solubles like sulfate, potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc . The lander touched down on Mars on May 25, 2008 and has been conducting several survey projects.
