NASA - Life on Mars could be found within two years but world is ‘not prepared’

a reply to: LookingAtMars

I reckon 'life' has already been found on mars, NASA and the Governments just don't us to know yet, so they are going to reveal it in 2 years time.

Not ready for it? I hate it when these people seem to think of us as their children and we must not be told as it will scare us.. ooooooooooo

And this idea is based on what exactly? It's nothing but pure fantasy. Your theory makes no sense at all. And you have absolutely nothing tangible to back your idea up. It's nothing more than a desire to believe and nothing else.

I stand above! And every day I wake up happy.... never morning.

Finally we may soon get the answers that we are not alone in the universe or even the solar system.


Yet we think we are alone in our own heads. We've scratched the surface of the Moon and Mars yet we haven't scratched the surface of the human mind. Everyone thinks aliens are from space and not inner space, we know nothing and it's about time we admitted that to ourselves.

Might be fantasy if you work for SETI.

Nonsense then.....

How so very deep of NASA.

This will keep me interested in rocks for 2 years, photoshop too.

NASA wouldn't know life if a beaver ran across one of their 'Mars' cams in Canada.

Silly NASA. Always with the "we're too deep for people" message.

It is no secret that mars meteors from Antartica have made scientists salivate with the possibility of discovering life on Mars. Past or present...I would imagine it could be possible in that deep 6000 ft trench.

Twenty years ago, NASA scientists and their colleagues announced they had spotted possible signs of Mars life in a meteorite. The claim ignited a scientific controversy that lingers to this day.

In 1996, researchers led by David McKay, Everett Gibson and Kathie Thomas-Keprta from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston suggested that they might have found microbial fossils in a meteorite from Mars known as Allan Hills 84001 (ALH 84001). (Cosmic impacts on Mars can be powerful enough to blast rocks off the Red Planet, a fraction of which crash on Earth, the moon and other bodies in the solar system.)

The meteorite was first discovered in 1984 by geologists riding snowmobiles through the Allan Hills region of Antarctica. Scientists think ALH 84001 originally formed 4 billion years ago on Mars and landed on Earth about 13,000 years ago. [The Search for Life on Mars (A Photo Timeline)]

I guess NASA already would know there is life there by saying something like that...
But now ESA is evolved they know they cannot keep the truth from us anymore.
Perhaps we humans evolved on Mars

I think your probably correct.

In the back of my mind, something tells me we were from mars, and destroyed it like were doing here on earth now.

And were going back now we've nearly wrecked earth.

Wash,rinse,repeat...

Don't you think there would be some pretty obvious evidence of a previous civilization on Mars if this was the case??

Cities, ruins, roads, monuments...and things like that???

Great. But a warning that they COULD find life on Mars is not the same as actually finding life on Mars. They should find it first, if it is/was even there, then they should talk about it.

I was thinking about that too, but go the way that, 'finding life' is meant to mean, either...or.
By that I mean, for all we know NASA may have concluded that fossils on Mars, are inevitable...perhaps even because they already have found them... ex-NASA astrobiologist Richard Hoover certainly thinks so, and he has some salient, and convincing reasons why, as well as his own experiences in just doing his job, in this Huff Post interview a few years back.



As for living specimens, well it seems that they are making some kinds of conclusions that are kind of obvious, if all their conditions are met.

Maybe they found really tiny little houses, but no one's home? The lights were on though, so they should be home any... time.... now..

If they find life, it will be microscopic. Why on Earth would humans not be prepared for that?

I mean, I'm not prepared to discover life, if it's growing on the roast lamb left in the fridge for 2 weeks, but I kinda expect it.. still, that's something else.. some sticky fluff under a rock on mars is not going to cause me to panic, run to the caves and build an underground society of rebel forces to repel the evil martians...

It'll take 'em at least a few million years to evolve into life forms that want to suck the water out of our very bodies.

I doubt we will find living life on Mars.
Ancient life might happen though.
That planet is not very hospitable to life.

Neither is the deepest ocean right next to a boiling hot sulphur vent, but..

Extremophiles thrive in the most toxic and barren of places.

It could be microbes, it could be little green men that live underground. Even microbes on Mars will rattle a good portion of the planet.

Why? Is Mars some magical place we only imagine? Is it in another dimension or plane of existence?

It's a ball of dirt, like the Earth, separated by traversable distance, not something wishy washy in a faery tale. It's real, it's there, and it's not so much different to finding life hundreds of miles under the Earths crust, in a cave devoid of anything. Distance does not create an impossible situation. And that's all there is between the Earth and Mars.

No one lost their minds when we discovered completely blind creatures living in very deep caves where there was no expectation of life, nor under the Antarcitc ice, where it apparently has been thriving, untouched for an eternity.

It's another planet, 'Another Planet'.. so people expect that terminology to negate any similarity between it and the Earth. I don't understand that. Space is not something that makes things impossible. It's simply a vast 'ocean' in which our tiny bubbles of atmosphere float around. And like an ocean, we can travel through it, but without an artificial air supply to sustain us, we'll drown. That's all it is.

Venus would be fine, but no way am I going near Uranus!

Depends on who gets there first to "tidy up" and decide what we get to see.

Look at Egypt, we still domt have the equipment to build the pyramids, but surely someone did.

I think there's alot of history we don't access to.

Well I can guarantee you nobody has been there.....

Good to know.

I agree with that...a bit of dirt, while because we are what we are, we invent all kinds of socio-economics to fight over it, while we are really only the custodians for a very short time.
I think what just one part of what Richard Hoover says in that video is very important, ( while most of, if not all, of what he says is important really) and that's about the water ice...it's there on Mars, and any bacterium in it, living in it's own water world.

Sometimes I think scientists raille against what their own findings are, like whomever the collective entities responsible for destroying Richard Hoover's, 'possible fossil' the crinoid.

Here is the capture, the smaller picture on the left is the Mars picture, on the right is an earthly crinoid, the Cincinnati Kid, "Ordovician Crinoid Retercrinus Alvealatus"

Many of us realize they found it long long ago and have spent a lot of time and trouble to keep that their secret.

ok, i have no proof of there being life on mars but water has been found on mars and with water there is life.. you would expect or as been in the past.

What's the big deal? If they find life on mars, will most prob be microbial life. I do not think people will freak out over this! We kind of new that microbial life existing somewhere else in the solar system was not far fetched.
