What will happen if there is life on MARS ?

Question

if scientists found life on MARS what do you expect gona happen next ?

Answer 1

If life is discovered on Mars, it will only be in records of previous life forms.

The present levels of solar radiation on the surface of the planet

(X Rays and Gamma Rays are far in excess of anything which

life forms can survive) preclude viable life form development.

The extinct life forms may have left some records of their presence in fossils or crusty hive type dwellings similar to those made by low level life forms on Earth. There are no life forms such as Humans,  Birds, Fish and wild Animals on Mars because there is no greenery for consumption/nutrition, flowing water for hydration,

and very little available oxygen. As a result, life forms which we

are familiar with can not possibly survive on Mars. Toss in a wild

range of temperature extremes between winter nights and summer

middays and the planet just doesn't match up to what is required

for living things such as those that have developed on Earth. Temperatures on Mars range from Minus 195 Degrees F to Plus 77 Degrees F. The 77 Degrees F temperature is not bad, but Minus

195 is extremely cold and way beyond any temperature where

flowing (consumeable) water might occur.

I agree that some other type of things "might have" developed there if

the radiation, lack of flowing water, surface temperature range, and atmosphere closer to those on Earth.

Even if some weird microscopic creature were eventually found there, if we assume they were not transported back to Earth, then the event is just a matter of a curious discovery. Note that there are no roads, cities, canals, or signs of an organized colony of anything there other than big piles of rocks.        

Answer 2

humans would kill themselves due to extreme facts thrown are there faces.

Answer 3

Obviously a mission to bring some of it back to earth. A robotic lander could be constructed to accomplish the task, given the financial resources. NASA has been downsized drastically since the 1970's and most missions these days are engineering miracles because of the financial constraints the mission planners have to work under. Another consequence of finding carbon based life on Mars might suggest our particular chemistry is to be expected on planets approximately the same size and temperature as earth.

Answer 4

We already have plans to colonize Mars, whether there is life or not. It will take a couple hundred years to make the atmosphere humans will need to survive, but NASA is planning to begin this within the not too distant future.

If there are little green men up there (which there aren't) I hope they are nice!

Answer 5

Even if they brought them back to Earth. The government would deny it even if the whole world saw them.

Answer 6

Not much.  A few years ago a meteor, believed to be Martian in origin, was found to have traces of life.  It made the news, the cover of Time or Newsweek, and then everybody forgot about it.  Later after further study the scientists decided that maybe it wasn't life after all. The features in the meteorite could be completely geological in origin.  That story made the inside pages of some newspapers.

    If they found the real thing: some genuine martian bacteria, the discovery would make the news.  Some biologists, chosen to study the stuff would have their careers assured.  It would make the cover of Time and Newsweek.  Letterman would tell some jokes and it might even merit a top ten list.  After a few weeks the story would leave the front pages.  Bacteria aren't all that interesting after all.  In a month or two it would cease to be in the papers at all.  Brittany or Paris or Lindsey would have done something stupid and be back on the front pages where they belong.  Life on Mars would be generally forgotten, something like Aunt Sarah's recipe for bean soup.  You know its there somewhere, but you didn't really like it, so its not really important.  

Answer 7

If there is, that would be a fantastic discovery and might be our next planet once earth is to old.

Answer 8

If we p**s them off, there will be an earth shattering kabooom!

Answer 9

If there is life on Mars there just is; and if there is, if anything was going to happen it would have happened, and it didn't; so in answer to your question: nothing.

Answer 10

did you see the programme on this where they said, eventually scientists will be able to create a breathable atmoshere on mars. amazing!!!

Answer 11

nothing bad would happen, but if there was life on mars, then the "aliens" would evacuate to our world and they would be no harm to us and they would learn to respect them and vice versa  

Answer 12

Not sure if anything would happen.  What can we REALLY do about it?  I think the next step would be to figure out if life on Mars had anything to do with life on Earth.

Creationist will still believe that we are all created by God.  To include the Martians.

Evolutionist will probably have to re-write their opinions on a lot of things.

Answer 13

If we do find life on Mars, and assuming it has a different genetic code to life on Earth (which would tell us that Earth was not seeded with life from Mars or vice versa) it would mean that life has appeared at least twice in our own solar system. The implications of that would make it one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time, because if life has appeared twice in our solar system, then life must be everywhere in the universe; there must be countless billions of planets with life.
