Well thats awesome, I think they need to find someone with some balls to go land on mars and take their spacesuit off, that'd be revolutionary if they find out they can actually breath the mars atmosphere, but besides that the whole worlds been tellin you there was water on mars for years, think about total recall that was like in the 80's lol...

Well, an article I just read seems to say the exact opposite of the OP:
Martian soil may contain detrimental substance
By ALICIA CHANG – 2 hours ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — NASA's Phoenix spacecraft has detected the presence of a chemically reactive salt in the Martian soil, a finding that if confirmed could make it less friendly to potential life than once believed.
Scientists previously reported that the soil near Mars' north pole was similar to backyard gardens on Earth where plants such as asparagus, green beans and turnips could grow. But preliminary results from a second lab test found perchlorate, a highly oxidizing salt, that would create a harsh environment.

That's a pretty big let down...

I cant just smell cover up, i can taste it. Hasnt this happened before? for the last 60 years maybe??? I'm not surprised at all, this is what should be expected.

I really hope there is a potential for life out there. I don't necessarily think it's going to come from MARS, but there very well could have been life on MARS at some time in history.
On Mars, which doesn’t lack for sunlight and airborne dust, volcanic activity would be the likely source for chlorine, Dr. Quinn adds. As for habitats, future missions may have to dig deeper in other locations. Scientists studying the life in the Atacama Desert have found only low numbers of culturable bacteria and no recoverable DNA in the top four inches of soil in the desert’s most arid region. But at least two teams have reported large numbers of bacteria at depths of eight to 12 inches.
The most surprising thing is that some of Phoenix's soil samples appear to contain chemicals that are found in rocket fuel — and in the natural soil of Chile's Atacama Desert, one of the places on Earth considered most like Mars.
Brown University geologist John Mustard, who had no role in the Phoenix mission, told The Associated Press that perchlorates are "not usually considered an ingredient for life."
However, some organisms actually thrive on perchlorates and have been enlisted for cleaning up chemical spills. Perchlorate-loving microbes have been found in Chile's Atacama Desert and Antarctica — two of the places that have been compared to the Red Planet's cold, dry environment.
"There are some microbes that use it as an energy source, and there are some microbes that just co-exist with it and there are no problems," said Richard Quinn, a chemist at the SETI Institute and NASA's Ames Research Center who is an expert on the Atacama Desert.

I don't give a damn whether there is life on mars,or any other planet.
I do however find it interesting to consider it at times,but there are way more important things to use our resources here on earth for.....
I think we should fix things here on our planet,so if there is life elsewhere,we don't spread our friggin disease there.
We need to stop wasting resources on things that really will do nothing to fix the problems we face here and now.
This is just a distraction from your not so eventful lives.
The simple things are the most rewarding,blast off into the space within,not into outer space.
Things are so messed up here that traveling to other planets would equate to going to visit your neighbor after crapping your pants and not cleaning yourself up,they wouldn't appreciate the visit at all.
Silly humans.
