'It's 99% certain there is life on Mars':as scientists re-analyse soil samples..

[Sentrosi2121]

99% of the time, it works all the time!

Dude, that probe is totally checking us out.

Thank a millions!

Just think of all the money wasted on this

Is the GSA involved?

may be evidence of life, not organic life.

what other kind of life would there be? cyborg?

It'd be awesome if we found some sort of oil based lifeform that we could kill and turn into gasoline. Don't say it wouldn't happen. We humans, har.

Oil maybe alive but not to our understanding. :\

Well...I meant something more like:

It's not as fun if they don't fight back.

 

[SillyOReilly]

Well...I meant something more like:

Yea, but viruses are alive or not to our understanding.

We are not to say that any organic molecules are alive or not.

Haters gonna hate. You won't be laughing when Mars holds the key to beating the Reapers.

 

[DrPizza]

I'm nearly 100% certain that there are bacteria on Mars. We've sent a bunch of crap up there - there's no way the stuff we sent was 100% absolutely sterile. Now, whether those bacteria are alive or dead now... that's a different question.

This study has been brought to you by Friends of Building a Better Budget for Nasa.

I know a lot of people misspell oxymoron (and moron as well). Is there more to it than that?

Yes - this.

I stick to the idea that life kick starts inside asteroids and meteorites that later fall upon a planet ,where then the real explosion of life starts (Lots of food and a new save home YAY). Inside the local space of a solar system, the environment is much more noisy, if you know what i mean. The chance of forming a complex molecule that has the tendency to copy itself because of atomic forces increases significantly when there is a lot of wideband EM noise.
Self replication. Just see how that little bacterial rotary engine functions that allows flagella to spin.

The Curiosity Rover that's on its way to Mars now, has three different experiments to test for past or current signs of life. It's due to touch down in August but I'm not sure when the life tests are scheduled.

Which is why this story just now came up. They decided they needed more money.

I'll wager you're wrong.

99% certain is an oxymorOn.

You've been here so long, and yet don't know one of the oldest jokes on the internet?

I know a lot of people misspell oxymoron (and moron as well). Is there more to it than that?

Thanks a lot, SlitheryDee.

Now I'm concerned that any reference to the "moran" picture will be perceived as an unintentional misspelling.

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Thanks a lot, SlitheryDee.

Shhh... there's very nearly certainly life on Mars, and a fair chance for it in St. Louis.

Wasting money is spending $10K on a toilet seat. Getting a better understanding of the universe and our own solar system is money well spent.

I got the vibe that Sinsear wasn't being 100% sincere in that statement.

I see what you did there.
