VonHelton Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- The discovery that a life form, froze on Earth some 30,000 years ago, was apparently alive as well as the latest research released from the European Space Agency make it likely that life could be found on Mars. Images relayed by a European space probe reveal the existence of a sea of ice close to the equator of Mars, scientists said Tuesday at a conference in the Netherlands. The existence of water or ice would significantly increase the chance that microscopic life may also be found on Mars. According to the NASA scientists, this organism could start swimming as soon as it thawed.

Cerberus Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Interesting read. If life can be frozen for 30,000 years and still be viable when thawed certaintly puts the theory that life on earth may have evolved first on mars in new light. I would say the odds of life on Mars would be pretty good, in some subsurface environment at least. Even if there is no life there now, the probably was in the past. Unless somebody else has got a more plausable theory as to how the methane produced on Mars got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone say in another thread that Methane is produced by plants that are in various stages of decay?? :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaska Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Pretty much. Methane is a major end product of anaerobic fermentation (bacterial decomposition of plant and animal matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Pretty much. Methane is a major end product of anaerobic fermentation. (Decomposition without availavle oxygen.) I, personally, produce copious amounts of methane. Might I have a few planetiods in me bum? LoL ;) :cyclops: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveTrek001 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Alright, I'm gonna let you all in on the big secret... Life began both on Mars and Earth. Humans evolved on Mars and we totally destroyed Mars... We screwed up the ecosphere and crap like that. Not to mention that using weapons we thinned out the atmosphere and thus made Mars unliveable. So, what did we do? We decided to move in on nice green and blue Earth. When we got there we found that there were already some very small bands of human like creatures. IE cavemen. So we combined our DNA and pretty much wiped out the caveman race. They were very dumb and had only little in common with us from Mars anyway. Also we never spoke of our old Mars home. Thus it was forgotten. So whats next? Well we will continue on the same path as we did on Mars and destroy Earth and then have to move on... Such is our existance...

Then god help them. If we're any different than we are here, we'll have them all exterminated in no time. We have a tendency to exterminate any thing valuable.
