Curiosity - first images received from rover

Was watching "This Week at NASA" after the landing. I was interested
in how the voice over describing the Curiosity landing phrased the
life on Mars question. It said Curiosity will try to determine if the
conditions are right for microbial life *to exist* on Mars:

Curiosity Has Landed! on This Week @NASA.

It was notable to me this was phrased in the present tense, not for
microbial life *to have existed* on Mars, but *to exist* on Mars.
Since Viking with the general consensus that the current life on Mars
question was answered in the negative, usually NASA missions were
described as only determining if life could have existed in the past
on Mars, not the present.
On the "NASA360" episode shown this week, the NASA scientist
interviewed Dr. Bruce Jakosky of the Curiosity and upcoming MAVEN Mars
missions described them also as determining if conditions are right
for life *to exist* on Mars, present tense:

To find Mars red clams you have to go about 60 feet under ground. If
this rover can't drill down 60 feet its 2.7 billion was worse than $
25,000,000 for those Mafia NASA toilets. Get the picture yet. Once
Upon a Time Mars had Water Life ,heavy atmosphere,and closer to the
Sun.this rover will prove all of this. Its time for NASA fairy tales .
Just to see craters rocks and sand again and again does not add
anything to my scrape book or get on TV. Get the picture yet?

Where are all the little green men? Are they sure they landed it on
the right planet?

It could be old Mars pictures. Could be old Moon pictures Could be
even the surface of Mercury. Craters are craters rocks are rocks and
sand and dust is everywhere. I'm looking at the human face on Mars,and
so far Mafia NASA with this rover has not topped that TreBert PS
Reality is NASA keeps saying the vast gullies have been made bt
water.,so why not land right on the Newton basin? Well I like to see
Mafia NASA show its books,and GOPer Romney show his books so that "WE
the People" can be sure we know what is happening with our money.

The whole MARS project is nothing less than governmental charity
keeping a few thousand employees alive.

Exploring another planet is "governmental charity" for you.

"Charity": giving money to the needed without any return.

Exploring another planet is useless for you then.

I am impressed by the scope of your vision. I am sure
the next U.S. president will find it a valid one and will scrap
this charity. Who needs that, "MARS" ???

There is no money to be made doing "MARS", let's better spend
money in important stuff like wars, wars and more wars.

Sure. Go back to your TV then, take a beer and watch football. That is
the maximum your tiny brain supports.

"Craters, rocks and sand?"

How boring.

Why didn't they land it beside the Martian pyramids?

Because there's no such thing.

And they want to look where there really might be evidence of life.
