  • The next NASA mission to search for Martian organics, the Mars Science Laboratory, will launch in 2011 and has a similar if more highly evolved GCMS that can test for organics and unofficially for signs of life using solvents rather than heat.

  • That experiment used a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer GCMS to heat the soil until chemicals turned to vapor, and then it separated, identified, and quantified the large number of different chemicals found.

  • The Viking arm twice failed to bring in soil for the GCMS, and so NASA and the many Viking watchers had to wait for days before the testing could begin.

  • The not-for-profit Global Coherence Initiative (GCI), with scientists from the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Global Consciousness Project, is researching the impact of collective emotional states on a global level and building a global coherence monitoring system (GCMS) of ultrasensitive magnetic field detectors to study the effect of collective negative and positive human emotionality on the Earth's systems.

  • Therefore, mechanical energy gets set up earlier in the energy cycle than predicted by GCMs. Simply put, more of the excess energy from AGW is expressed as kinetic energy than predicted by the GCMS.
