Life on mars.

[Dualnames]

NOW what are you on about?

no one is talking about putting humans on mars.. we are talking about life independently arising on mars.

And exactly my question. What good would it do? How will exactly your life get better from this?

[mkennedy]

If they did find strong enough evidence for life on Mars then a manned mission would become a lot more likely.

[Matti]

And then.. ?

[MrColossal]

Well and then we'd send a womaned mission because well... Mars needs women.

[Evil]

Clearly men are for Mars and women are for Venus.

I just watched Anacondas, which was basically an independent sequel to Anaconda. I also watched Medicine Man, and both these movies has a case of finding new kinds of medicine. How about the life forms on Mars growing with a different kind of cellular code or such and they'd work as a cure for say, HIV? Wouldn't that be something? Or just plain scifi?

[Le Woltaire]

I have no doubt that micro-organisms have/do exist on Mars and that intelligent life is possible elsewhere. But intelligent life landing on Mars and carving a big rock that looks like a face from one of Le Woltaire's games - hardly likely!

Long time ago, when my ancestors from Krypton got into the solar system they had that funny hobby to use a plasma gun and made portraits into planet surfaces. I was very young at that time and couldn't understand why it was so much fun for them. But now, that I am trying to bring this tradition into contemporary amateur adventure games, I absolutely have to say: It is a lot of fun, especially when it is really ugly.

From what I remember life on mars didn't exist at that time. My ancestors tried to find a perfectly suitable planet where they could reproduce themselves with local species. This was only possible on earth, which is one of the reason why I am stuck here, since the starcraft's warp engine has broken. I have to wait for contemporary science to be able to produce large quantities of anti-matter in order to get back home.
