I think it is exciting. Because it would imply that if life arose independently on Mars. The implication is that life is pervasive throughout the universe. This is why Mars has so obsessed scientists.
In 2001 a new NASA probe was launched. Called Odyssey, it was sent to Mars to carry out the most detailed analysis ever of the planet’s surface. What it has discovered may be about to answer one of
But even if there had been water, life doesn't start overnight. Even a simple microbe is the product of complex chemical systems that take millions of years to evolve. Had the water lasted long enough

For Mars to have rivers, it must once have had streams, rain, clouds and an atmosphere, a planet just like the Earth today-if these were rivers. They had to be sure. The answers would come in 1998 wit

But there was something even better. Odyssey may not just have found ice. There may also be liquid water, and that means, there could be living creatures there too. Right now, there might be liquid wa
But they never got there. The first disappeared into deep space. Another missed its target when its coordinates were confused. One NASA control center was working in metric, the other in feet and inch
The ground here is permafrost, a mixture of soil and ice frozen together. A group of Russian scientists have teamed up with NASA to drill down into it in search of microorganisms. It's work that's bee
