https://www.google.com/amp/s/in.mas...the-world-isnt-prepared-says-nasa-chief?amp=1 Life on Mars is an idea that has intrigued people for a long time now. A lot of theories and claims have been made by researchers surrounding the existence of life on Mars but most of these theories are currently inconclusive. However, according to NASA chief scientist Jim Green, we’re just years away from finding life on Mars but the world is not ready for the “revolutionary” implications of the discovery. Two Mars-bound rovers from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are scheduled to launch next year and will land on the red planet by March 2021. These rovers could find evidence of life within months of arriving on Mars. “It will start a whole new line of thinking. I don’t think we’re prepared for the results. I’ve been worried about that because I think we’re close to finding it and making some announcements,” Jim Green told The Telegraph.

The ExoMars rover that will be conducting a search for life on the red planet is named Rosalind Franklin and will have a combined capability to roam around Mars and study the planet at depth. Rosalind Franklin rover will drill down 2 metres deep into the surface to sample and analyze the composition of the soil. The rover is a joint endeavour between ESA and the Russian State Space Corporation, Roscosmos. According to Tim Peake, ESA astronaut, “this rover will scout the martian surface equipped with next-generation instruments – a fully-fledged automated laboratory on Mars. With it, we are building on our European heritage in robotic exploration, and at the same time devising new technologies”.

While possible, I extremely pessimistic that we'll ever find life elsewhere, even Mars, which probably holds the best chance of finding now certainly extinct life.
If there is life on Mars its microbacterial...there is no intelligent life there and finding miccrobes on mars would not be surprising
We have much to fear from Mars. Mars has already taken Pop-Tarts, Pringles, and Eggos. What will they assimilate next? You, perhaps. barfo
