Seriously, is it possible that there was once life on Mars???

Question

I'm just curious, what do ya'll think???

Answer 1

I am sure there is. cos scientist took a monkey there which was able to live  

Answer 2

Absolutely.....   I think it would have been very similar to earth in the early solar system.  So why not expect similar processes.... bacteria, microbes, maybe even as far as early forms of small water creatures.

Answer 3

I'm sure there was. Scientists just found water-ice on the surface, which probably means there is water under the surface. Scientists think that before the geological reformation of venus and mars, there was prospering life on both planets. You never know, life on Earth itself could have been started by a chunk of mars covered with organisms knocked off mars and into Earth starting life here. Is that likely, probably not; is it impossible? No.

Edit: I agree with slipknot, it probably would have burned up in the atmosphere. But who knows, Earth definitly wasn't then what it is today, maybe its atmosphere was like what mars' is today. And as for that permanent colony, i doubt it, seriously.

Answer 4

Definitely! Some scientists believe that they've already found primitive fossilized life in a meteorite that we know came from an ancient impact on Mars. See this website to read about it ==>http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lpi/meteorite...

Answer 5

i think there is..

but..

according to the article i read in space.com

scientists found an element that might ruin their chances of finding life in mars..

bcuz this element is in the soil.. and this is highly toxic to living creatures or bacterias..

but wut do we kno..

there are lots of bacterias that lives in the worst conditions...

there myt be life...

Answer 6

It COULD be a possibility.

But they ARE in the making of building an actual city on mars that will be fully ready within the next 100 years.

It's amazing!

Answer 7

it's very possible..

at one time mars had to of had a molten center... and from experience we know those create electromagnetic fields that sheild the planet from solar events... you can also look at mars' surface and see evidence of rivers and other bodies of water.....

and with that rock that came back possibly containing a fossilized microbe, who really knows? this is actually important because it was the first time any rock contained anything resembling life, that didn't come from earth.... the chances of a microbe being fossilized, then ejected from the planet and making it here, and not burning up through the atmosphere and then us discovering this microbe is like nearly impossible.... this really seems to suggest it wasn't just a stroke of random luck....
