I think it is quite likely that some form of life did exist on Mars a long time ago, but it certainly wasn't humanoid. We need to better define life in this context I think. Self replicating thinking organisms like man is one end of the spectrum, microbes are at the other end, worms and slugs somehere in the middle. Looking at the landscape there certainly seems visual evidence of once flowing water, but whether this was just ice caps melting, or intelligent irrigation is yet to be decided. But yes wow so far! I agree with you, Chris! they dont release inforaton of things whinch they cannot explain. ID: 1284196 ·

(Sorry) Mars rover Opportunity reveals geological mystery "The rover is in very good health considering its 8.5 years of hard work on the surface of Mars," said John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "Energy production levels are comparable to what they were a full martian year ago, and we are looking forward to productive spring and summer seasons of exploration." Opportunity is still going strong. ID: 1285002 ·
