Seems to me that people have some awfully unrealistic expectations of NASA combined with a complete ignorance of science. If any life is to be found on mars it won’t be found strolling or even laying on the surface. Life on mars will be microbes found under ground.
The Spirit and Opportunity rovers photographed some things that looked suspiciously like tiny fossils to me. NASA said they could have been formed by natural geologic processes. Maybe they were and maybe they weren’t. I certainly don’t expect NASA to make proclamations about finding fossils without definitive proof and that proof won’t be coming from a rover.
The martian environment makes an Antarctic mountaintop in winter seem downright balmy. The soil is toxic and radioactive. The summer daytime temperatures are about as warm as the coldest places on earth and plummet into -triple digits at night.
I personally think we will eventually find evidence of simple past life on mars but it won’t happen till we put people on the ground who bring back proof. The rovers are to expensive to use chasing every fantasy the conspiracy theorists come up with.

Are you serious?
LOL!
