Yes, there are a lot of interesting looking rocks on Mars. As of yet, no life though.extrasense said:Check the fair report at

I see nothing but rocks. Phooey!
OK, let's see the "measuremens" that you've done on them.extrasense said:What you do not understand here, that those are photographed images.
You can do all sorts of measuremens on them.
Lighten up

extrasense said:Don't get too formal. Image recognition is a routine human activity. Even mad scientist can recognize a flower, or leaf, without using supercomputer
Ivan Seeking said:Image recognition does not constitute proof of anything... If someone is going to declare the discovery of life on Mars then they had better be formal or they will be laughed out of the room.

In 2021, NASA's Perseverance rover successfully landed on Mars and began its mission to search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover's instruments, such as the SuperCam and the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE), are able to detect and analyze organic compounds and oxygen levels that could indicate the presence of past or present life on Mars.
The Perseverance rover has already found several pieces of evidence that suggest the possibility of life on Mars. These include the presence of organic molecules in rock samples, the detection of methane in the planet's atmosphere, and the identification of a dried-up river delta that could have once provided a habitable environment for microbial life.
The discovery of life on Mars has significant implications for our understanding of the universe. It suggests that the conditions necessary for life to exist may be more common than we previously thought, increasing the likelihood of finding life on other planets and moons within our solar system and beyond. It also raises questions about the potential for interplanetary transfer of life, further expanding our understanding of the origins and evolution of life in the universe.
While the discovery of life on Mars is an exciting development, it is still unknown what form this life may take and if it currently exists on the planet. It is important for humans to carefully consider the potential impact of our presence on any existing life forms on Mars and to prioritize ethical and responsible exploration and colonization efforts.
NASA's Perseverance rover will continue to collect and analyze samples from the Martian surface, providing further insights into the potential existence of life on the planet. In the future, more advanced missions will be sent to Mars, including sample return missions, to further investigate the planet's potential for hosting life. Additionally, private companies and organizations are also investing in exploration and potential colonization efforts on the Red Planet.
