So why wait until now to tell us? Or has NASA only just remembered? 
Ah well, it’s much cheaper to make up ‘news’ than to actually look for it. Yet more NASA click-bait for the easily-impressed among us.

From your own article.
But Nasa’s experiments failed to find organic matter: the physical stuff of life itself, not just the indications of microbial respiration that the LR experiment discovered.

So non-news then? But I bet it brought a lot of ‘clicks’ - I mean it brought yours?
“Nasa concluded that the LR results came from a substance that was mimicking life but was not actually life itself.”
Something that mimicked life? Oh puh-lease!

In this age of fake news and alternative facts, people are far more more likely to believe a lie if they want it to be the truth.
They found water on Mars several times.
Just like they killed Bin Laden and al-Beghadadi several times.
I guess good news is worth repeating.

Well fake news is? 
We know there’s water on Mars, the only question is how much and if it is accessible in sufficient quantities to support a growing colonization project.
Even under the Sahara there’s plenty of water if you dig deep enough.
Screw Mars; I want to know if there’s intelligent life on Earth.

How some people can believe this was the result of water eroding rocks to form a soup of elements that was struck by lightning to give it life, is beyond absurd.
We keep searching. …
