life on mars?

Answer 1

The Viking spacecraft of 1975-76 had biochemical laboratories on board, allowing for the search for life in 3 experiments. These experiments provided, at last, interesting but inconclusive results: There must be some reactive matter at least in some of the probes investigated, but most scientists concluded that this would probably be non-biological. However, in 1997, Viking Life experimentator Gilbert V. Levin claimed that his experiments may have detected evidence for active microbial life on Mars.

On August 6, 1996, scientist of Nasa and Stanford University announced the discovery of possible evidence for the existence of fossil life on Mars, found in meteorites of probable Martian origin, recovered in Antarctica.

The successfully landed Mars Pathfinder and its small robotic rover Sojourner discovered evidence for large water abundances on ancient Mars in July 1997, thus supporting the possibilities of ancient life on the Red Planet. Among the first results of the orbital survey undertaken by the Mars Global Surveyor orbiter spacecraft was a confirmation of this evidence.

Answer 2

I can quite categorically state that without a shadow of a doubt there IS life on Mars. I've just got back from there and they're really freindly "people". They been watching us for quite some time and they're gonna give us a great big welcome party as soon as the first Mars landing takes place....btw, they dont like being called green men, they prefer aquamarine.

Answer 3

so some distance there has been no definitive data of existence everywhere different than Earth. residing or extinct existence on Mars keeps to be at this factor totally theoretical. there is water on Mars, oceans worth of it, yet its frozen. Mars is a deep freeze so all the water is in this way of permafrost.

Answer 4

Every year it looks more likely that life is easy. We know life survives in very vicious conditions on Earth. All you need is water, and we are finding evidence of it everywhere.

My favorite part of this question is that we will know in our lifetimes.

Answer 5

wow that was an answer from above!! Don't know about much but apparently men are from mars women are from venus if that helps?

Answer 6

Yes. Plant form of life because there is water, and perhaps some kind of worms.

Answer 7

All planets have life in some sort of way I think.

Answer 8

I think there is now--small life--and I think that there probably was more life thousands of years ago when there was an atmosphere.

Answer 9

There doesn't appear to be a chance of it near the surface ..read this

Answer 10

They think now that there was life there until our bloody Probe released bacterior that killed it! Oooooops.......
