NASA tends to drip feed this sort of stuff, because every time they release a paper talking about how there is a .5% chance that life might exist on Mars based on new data, the news media is all "OMG LIFE FOUND ON MARS?! ALIENS CONFIRMED>!?!" and then when the scientists clarify that they aren't saying that, the public gets mad at them and not the sensationalist media lying about it.
