New research reveals there is hope for Mars yet. The first definitive detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars indicates the planet is still alive, in either a biologic or geologic sense, according to a team of NASA and university scientists.

So NASA found ice and water on Mars back when the Phoenix Lander was still alive, now they find out that Mars has methane. I think it can only be a matter of time before some sort of life is discovered. I assume there is at least a microbe or a bacteria or something very small in the ice, water, or ground, and that would be considered life. I wonder if the government would actually tell the public if life was found on Mars. I doubt it. I mean, we only elect and pay the salary of all government officials, why should they tell us anything?
