Samsung partnered up with US carriers to offer people buying one Galaxy S8 an extra Galaxy S8 free of charge, as long as you trade in your current smartphone. Pay $100 more and you can get a free Galaxy S8+ instead — here are all the details.
But this deal still requires you to pay for two cellular plans, one for each phone. If you only need one Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+, you should know that new Galaxy S8 deals are in the works, from Best Buy and Samsung.
Samsung announced the brand new Coral Blue Galaxy S8 on Wednesday and casually dropped details about two upcoming Galaxy S8 promotion in the press release.
Samsung.com will slash $150 off the retail price of the Coral Blue and Midnight Black versions of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The Coral Blue option will hit stores on July 21st.
The company also said that customers can take advantage of Samsung’s Trade-In program to trade-in eligible devices towards credit for the purchase of an unlocked Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+.
Best Buy will have an even more interesting promo. From July 21st to July 29th, Best Buy will get you $400 off the retail price of the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ with a qualified purchase or activation. The deal is valid only on July 21-22 if you’re buying AT&T Galaxy S8 versions. Other details aren't available at this time, but keep checking Best Buy's Galaxy S8 page for more information.
Being an elected official means that you should probably have a working knowledge of whatever topic it is you're planning to publicly address at any given time. Many government talking heads fall far short of that requirement on a regular basis, and the latest example is Rep. Dana Rohrabacher of California. At a congressional meeting with some of NASA's top scientists to discuss the prospects of further exploration of planets and moons in our Solar System, Rohrabacher asked a question that would seemingly have been more fitting in the wake of the 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Rohrabacher asked about martians.
After praising the work NASA has been doing, as well as addressing the plans of a new rover on Mars by 2020, the Republican congressman had one last thing he wanted to ask. "You have indicated that Mars was totally different thousands of years ago," he told the researchers, who were no doubt already rolling their eyes. "Is it possible that there was a civilization on Mars thousands of years ago?"

The few silent seconds that followed, as NASA's Kenneth Farley of the Mars 2020 project pondered how to respond, are quite suspenseful. "So," Farley began, keeping a straight face. "The evidence is that Mars was different billions of years ago. Not thousands of years ago."
"Billions, well, yes," Rohrabacher brushed off the correction.
"There's no evidence that I'm aware of," Farley said, undoubtedly assuming that would be the end of that particular line of questioning, but Rohrabacher wasn't quite satisfied.
"Would you rule that out?" the congressman pressed.
"I would say that is extremely unlikely," Farley concluded.
A couple of mumbles later, Rohrabacher thanked the scientists for their work before passing the questioning to the next congressman. Rohrabacher's spokesperson would later suggest that the question was tongue-in-cheek, but if it was, it certainly didn't come across that way.
