I'm sure NASA will deny whatever they find, even if there's a Red Truck in front of the rover. There will be some geologist's cheap explanation to it.
"It will always be a rock"
I'm sure NASA would absolutely LOVE to announce life past pr present..their agency would probably quadruple in size and funding almost overnight. The Government on the other hand, would definitely not love to announce it, and since they're (taxpayers in fact) paying for NASA's budget, they get to decide on what is 'discovered' or not.
NASA don't call the shots, they follow orders.
How can a black unlimited budget get extra funding?

EXACTLY. Every time I hear this "NASA is hiding things!!!" garbage I laugh. If they had ONE OUNCE of proof of life off of Earth, they would get TONS of new funding. I'd ask how someone could overlook this rather obvious fact, but this is ATS, so...

I agree MysterX. But whenever we judge NASA's behaviours we are in fact considering the whole thing right. NASA is Government, and play by the Government's own interests.
Science is the most controlled thing in the world today, and it's the most dependent thing in the world too.
....And.... Modern Scientists are very burocrats and soly career driven. Galileo would have a hard time in the modern era
