New Analysis of Viking Mission Results Indicates Presence of Life on Mars

Washington State University ^

[Historix]

Dirk Schulze-Makuch of Washington State University and Joop Houtkooper of Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany, argue that even as new missions to Mars seek evidence that the planet might once have supported life, we already have data showing that life exists there now—data from experiments done by the Viking Mars landers in the late 1970s.

“I think the Viking results have been a little bit neglected in the last 10 years or more,” said Schulze-Makuch. “But actually, we got a lot of data there.” He said recent findings about Earth organisms that live in extreme environments and improvements in our understanding of conditions on Mars give astrobiologists new ways of looking at the 30-year-old data.

Pfeh. How does it relate to Marx or Post-Feminism? Does The Face have a Phallus? Probably viewed through a Male-bias Lens - and I detect a Whiteness conspiracy.

So that's where Janet Reno has been.

The researchers acknowledge that their hypothesis requires further exploration. “We can be absolutely wrong, and there might not be organisms like that at all,” said Schulze-Makuch. “But it’s a consistent explanation that would explain the Viking results.”

Talk about a misleading title! Interesting article never-the-less.

Snort. I don't care one way or the other but what would that 'evidence' be? They have a hypothesis that explains the lack of evidence so far and that's all.

Too many 'scientists' anymore are solely concerned with grant money, publishing and headlines.

She'd shake so much we would see the dust cloud.

Those Euros who sit down to pee have double last names too.

Yeah, but who mysteriously cleaned the dusty solar panels to prolong these explorations? Gotta be Martians.

So, do we spend the trillion$ amd trillions on Mars or globle warming?

And to hell with Soc. Sec.
