The Spin

Narrative A

These findings show that scientists' long-held desire to find water on Mars is coming to fruition. If confirmed, this discovery would be game-changing for scientists interested in the possibility of life on Mars and the continuing effort to establish the planet as habitable — in the past, present, and future.

Science

Narrative B

Water may suggest life on Mars, but none has been found yet and so far there's little evidence to the contrary. Although Mars had the same basic ingredients as early Earth and similar watery conditions, it never had the necessary conditions for life to develop, and eventually the sun removed Mars' atmosphere. We're a long way from Mars being inhabitable.
