DOES THIS SIGNIFY LIFE ON MARS?


[+] ballot by aya

There is a strong possibility that there is a frozen sea on Mars. Do you think that this means that there is/was life on Mars? And, considering the fact that any life on Mars has perished, do you think that this could lead the possibility for humans to establish colonies on Mars, or, at the very least, strip Mars of it's natural resource (water), if the Earth were to dry up?

From yahoo:
PARIS (AFP) - A frozen sea surviving as blocks of pack ice may lie just beneath the surface of Mars, the New Scientist magazine said, citing observations from Europe's Mars Express spacecraft.
Images from the high resolution stereo camera on Mars Express showed of structures called plates that look similar to ice formations near Earth's poles. These plates could indicate the first discovery of a large body of water beyond Mars' polar ice caps, the review said. In their paper the researchers traced a possible history for Mars' underground ice, saying it began with huge masses of ice floating in water that were later covered with volcanic ash, leaving the pack ice plates behind.


"If the reported hypothesis is true, then this would be a prime candidate landing site to search for possible extant life on Mars," said Brian Hynek, a research scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder in the United States.

What do you think?

There could be life on Mars
We could establish colonies on Mars
Don't know
Yes, probably life. Stick to screwing up Earth.

COMMENTS:
There's probably microcellular life there now, but I see this as more of an opportunity for us to mount an expedition there and establish colonies. And I wish I were young enough to join in.

Actually, in about 10 yrs, they're predicting the first private space travel which will only cost you about $98,000. Private space explorers are willing to take risks where NASA isn't.

That's awesome. Hopefully this will lead to conclusive proof that we aren't the only planet with life.

It doesn't prove anything. But if there is water on mars it definately increases the odds that it held life at one time.

I agree with Truthseeker: I fully expect some kind of microscopic life forms to be discovered (at a minimum, bacteria).

nah, it's nothing but a rock..no water..no burger kings...just another rock..in the middle of nowhere..no pyramids or special etchings..just another rock.
