That is what I believe, but the plans keep changing. This was the 3rd attempt at this mission, and the rovers have been working for a lot longer then first planed. I have seen an artist concept of the next generation of rovers, and they will make the rovers their now look like Path Finder.

The book of Mormon is often rewritten, if you're able to find an older book, which is highly unlikely, since the LDS Church buys and destroys older versions once something has been added or deleted, you'd see.You will, but it will be written after the fact.
Right, because the old Hebrew "if and" clauses that were replaced with the more familiar English "if then" clauses, the word misspellings, the verse restructuring, grammatical corrections, punctuation corrections, are definitely not reasons to alter the original text....which amounted to about 5000 changes.
😉
I know my religion better than you do, of course.
BTW, my grand pappy has a second edition BoM. I read some of it (under his careful eye). I didn't notice anything different other than some restructuring.
However, I wasn't referring to the BoM, I was referring to the "Doctrine and Covenants" and Mormon doctrine in general.
Now that you brought up a very old and long rebutted anti-Mormon talking point, please read the entirety of the following:

If you have anymore questions or concerns, take this to the religion forum or PM. I made my comment NOT to talk about the validity of Mormons, I made the comment, rather, to be a smartass....ergo the smartass smilie. 😬
Now back on topic.

Now back on topic.
Why would the inerrant word of God need 5,000, let alone 1 change?
You know your religion as well as you're told, there's a difference.
You didn't look hard enough then, ask to borrow it and read page for page. I also wouldn't let the church know he has it, it's similar to contraband.
You silly clown, you edited my post where I brought the conversation back to topic, then add "Back to topic" at the end of yours. Poor show.

I already outlined the changes...all of which were "man's error" and have nothing to do with what is trying to be conveyed. Surely you realize this?

Wow, you know me so well! 🙄

Oh, so you've read both?
If what you said was so groundbreaking and a valid point, despite that massive amounts of anit-Mormonism that occurs out there, then it would matter. Since its nothing new and is very much a very poor arguing point for anti-Mormons, it is moot.
It pretty much furthers the validity of the BoM.

"Pretentious, aren't we?" Maybe if you spent more time thinking from another person's perspective, you'd realize that I was referring to MYSELF being off topic with my post.
I guess it hurts your "piss and vinegar" persona, so don't worry, no harm done.

No....so many people are anti-Mormon because it puts them out of a job or makes their pockets smaller.

Now let me go to the Indian casinos and try to win some money from those decendants of ancient Israelites.
Right, because all Native Americans (North or South), are descendants of Israelites.
In case you didn't catch that(Which you didn't), that was sarcasm.

So I guess another question to ask is if they do find life or signs of life on Mars, do you think they'd let the public know right away, if not ever?
They would not tell anyone at first. They would try to retrieve it first. Because if it got out, the religious people in the government might try to cut funding for the program.

What?
LoL... you miss my obvious sarcasm about the American Indian/Israelites, then proceed to tell me I missed something before I respond, goon.
In case any kids are reading this, the native Americans (not a single one) are not descendants of Jews who supposedly traveled here around 400 AD.

If its bacteria or some other single celled organism, I think they will. If it's anything advanced or signs of something advanced that existed previously, I doubt they would right away.
