I really hope so. At least when they find it, we'll have somewhere to go because THIS planet sucks.

Regardless of what dundledee says, life has NOT been discovered on Mars. So far earth has the only life in the known universe.
All things are possible. Bacterria can "live" in suspended annimation for several thousands of years, so it is possible. A scenario is for an asteroid to have impacted with earth long ago, breaking away pieces of bacteria bearing rock, and they surviving for thousands of years to land on all the known planets, their moons, and to even travel to other suns' planets in our galaxy. It has been theorized earth was populated this way in the distant past!
We should be on the Moon again by 2015, and Mars by about 2025, and maybe have a permanent base there by 2050.
Earth has a population of around 7 billion people( by about 2008), so we need another planet to expand onto. Mars is the most logical choice, IF we can terraform(make earth-like) it quickly. Even if we cannot terraform the planet, we should be able to live there in pressurized habitats and use the world for a stopping off place to other worlds, and even a vacation hot-spot for enthusiasts of space travel.

When humans settle on Mars there will be life on another planet for sure. The Universe is amazingly big and there may be 10 million Earth like planets just in the observable part. There may be life on some of them but the smartest things on them might be about as clever as a dog, or a jellyfish, or a bacterium.

There are more than one hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone. This means it is possible that there are at least that many solar systems which are homes to even more planets. If only one percent of these stars were home to planets that could sustain some type of life, that means 100,000,000 planets might have life on them. Think about the math!!! Therefore my answer would have to be YES!!!!

Scientist has wrongly prefixed the prerequisite for life definition based on what we can see on earth. I believe in conservation energy theory where by life wouldn't just disappear in this world when we dies. The ending on this planet might signify the beginning of another story. The machine built on earth might not be able to observe all kinds of living in other planet. Eg: We cant see and hear like what the ant, dog, fish do.

When the question of life on other planets arises, most people think of life forms that are like ours. It's not unreasonable to think that lives on other planets exist, but in ways different from ours due to adaptation to conditions and environments.

water based life could occur on every planet that has liquid water, atmosphere and the surface is protected from radiation.
are there planets like this? - very likely. the big question mark is do life occur frequently when such conditions are available.

Yes, you consider the vastness/boundless space of the universe
with billions of stars and other planets... life is possible. only a matter of time, man can discover life in....

Yeah I read a magazine article about the future the other day n some top scientists reckon we will be able to live in and travel to mars by 2050. they also have found living organisms on mars, like little microscopic bug things, so yeah...
