Yes, they don't seem to realise that ordinary people aren't as excited about the things that drive scientists wild. What's major news to a geologist might be a bit "meh" to Joe public, especially after the media have hyped something big happening.
I think the most likely news tomorrow will be about water on Mars. Either more than first realised or it exists in liquid form.
