Life on Mars?

barrowaj · 03-30-2005, 00:03 AM

There is a lot of data that suggests life existed, and may still exist on Mars. Here is an interesting article from the NYTimes on the topic:

Do you believe that there is life on Mars?

For sure there was life on Mars at one time. Mar's has an atmosphere capable of substaining some type of life forms. The government won't tell the people about all of the findings of contact with aliens either.

I believe that we will eventually find evidence of SOME kind of life on Mars. Probably very primitive. Probably long extinct.

Water, a bit of an atmosphere, relatively close to the sun, some active vulcanism in the past...

It would just be wrong if that didn't yield some kind of life pretty early on like here on good old Earth.

The sky is the limit concerning outerspace. I'm sure there are aliens, new plants, & all kinds of lifeforms.

Life on Mars…
Reminds me of short story "The Last Weapon" by Robert Sheckley …
About three humans, ancient Martian weapon container and absolute weapon…

Yeah. Venus has been rather desolate after all the women left. (uglier too) Earth must have been the first big compromise between the sexes. Maybe there is hope for us yet.

Men are from Mars, Women from Venus. I haven't read that book, has anybody else?

Yeah well, when I become Ruler Of The Earth, I am going to gather all of the women on the planet to one place and ship them back to Venus on a one-way ticket.

Naturally, I'll be along for the ride...
