is there life on mars?

Answer 1

not since michael jackson left

Answer 2

I rather like Alec's answer. It reminds me of a statement by Albert Einstein; "If we knew the answer, it wouldn't be called research!". In fact, if we did discover life on Mars, we most definitely wouldn't stop sending probes, as there would be so much more that we would want to find out about.
As we have continued to find out more about life, we have discovered that it can exist in a far greater range on conditions. years ago, we would have said that life needs a particular range of temperature, pressure and acidity. It also needs particular gases, and, of course, water. Since then we have found life surviving in all kinds of extreme conditions, hence the name "extremophiles". As a result, it's now believed by many scientists that there is only one real requirement for life, and that is simply water; if we can find that somewhere, then it's likely that there will be a good chance of life being able to exist there.
That is one reason why the Mars rovers were designed to search for evidence of past - or, hopefully - present water on Mars. Recent images from orbit around Mars have shown the best evidence of water below the surface of the planet, confirming findings from the MARSIS radar experiment.
One other potential source of water in the solar system is below the frozen surface of Jupiter's moon, Europa.
With regard to Mars, I'm convinced that astronauts could land there within the next 20 years, so my take on this question goes: "Is there life on Mars? Maybe not, but soon there will be!"

Answer 3

You know, the astronomers and scientists at NASA have been trying to figure that out. There has been evidence of life once being there but the planet's core died and the magnetic field or gravitational field was destroyed along with it. So there can't be life on Mars because there is no gravitational field or magnetic field, thus proving that there is no life on Mars.

Answer 4

Possibly

Answer 5

Nothing macroscopic...and a very very very miniscule chance of anything at all.

However, Jupiter's moon Euros is said to possibly contain macroscopic life underneath it's extremely deep ice surface in a possible giant liquid water ocean. How crazy is that?

ps... by macroscopic I mean, can be seen without a microscope, NOT intelligent.

Answer 6

It is almost guaranteed that some form of life has been transported to the Red planet by Earthlings. But, very unlikely that it could survive. Who knows though, strange things can happen! As for indigenous life, we will need to explore more, but it is entirely possible. Check the link for pop-sci claim.

Answer 7

Haven't you seen the movie Mars Attacks?

Answer 8

Microscopic organisms yes. Intelligent Life No.

Answer 10

if there is it will be very basic plant or bacteria type of life forms .what I think is that millions of years ago there was life of a higher form now extinct , and fossils will be found in a preserved state
