What do you think, is there life on Mars?

Question

I am realy been interest is there life on Mars or is that just ordinary planet without anything interesting to fill out space in space.

Answer 1

It's very debatable.

Life on Mars need not be exactly humanoid creatures or large animals. Even simple, single cellular structures or algae or bacteria or any other form of microbes that might flourish on that planet can be considered as life.

Finding out whether such microbes do exist on Mars will be a tough task considering the amount of funding it would require to conduct tests on the site or to successfully bring soil and other samples back to Earth. Or, to send a manned mission to the Red Planet.

Strangely though, there are ancient texts of Chinese, Indians, Assyrians, Egyptians and other civilizations which, for some reason- say there are 3 worlds, of which one is ours. In some of these ancient texts, there are specific mention of Mars. Surprisingly, the planet Mars has also been associated by both ancient Greeks and Indians with violence such as war. And images of Mars are always a humanoid with strange features such as antennae from the forehead, large burning eyes and wearing an armor (translate this as a space suit).

I personally believe there is some life on Mars because it has water and other essentials needed to support life. But maybe we need to look at the right places to find it. If an alien spaceship landed somewhere deep on the Antarctica...they would conclude that the planet was made of ice and nothing else exists beyond it. Similarly, maybe our explorers are not on the right location.

Answer 2

I suspect that there is microbial life in Mars right now, 1/2 mile down under the permafrost where liquid water still flows. If we can get a way to drill down that far and collect a sample we'll be able to culture it. Mars life will be found to be related to Earth life via panspermia 3 or 4 billion years ago.

We will have colonies on Mars and it will be partially terraformed in 200 years. The average global temperature will be slightly above the freezing point of water, there will be seas, rivers, rain and snow. Atmospheric pressure will only be about 1/2 that of Earth's and will be mostly CO2 and nitrogen; not breathable.

Answer 3

There may have been life on Mars - like single cell organisms. I think it has all likely died by now though. There isn't much to that planet seeing that the water is all frozen leaving it as a cold desert.

Answer 4

I don't think that there is any life on Mars at the moment, but that there was some (bacteria, ect...) billions of years ago. I do believe that there is life in Ganymede (I think it's Ganymede... one of Jupiter's moons) since they found liquid (but not H2O) water on it. They found rivers underneath frozen ice caps.

Anyways, the universe is HUGE, and has milliosn of millions of millions of planets, and there's bound to be at least another one with life.

Answer 5

sure, there are stranger things. And although mars might like most resources necessary for life, there must be other intelligent life forms in the universe.

Answer 6

No real life forms....

A planets inner design determines it's upper atmosphere, both on the surface and it's upper atmosphere layers...

Answer 7

There must be some form of life because of the presence of water and bacteria.

Answer 8

I dont believe in life outside of this planet.

Answer 9

Hard to tell yet. It would be really great if they were discovered. There HAS to be something better than what we have here on this cinder. To think otherwise is naieve.

Answer 10

Life on mars now ? - I don't think so, but probable extinct life - very probable
