I never did accept the explanation that what Viking found was nothing more than non-life chemical reactions. Couple these new findings with the mystery of methane being constantly replenished on Mars, we now have two strong indicators that there is life on that planet.

Almost 40 years and now they tell us the stick turned pink.

Numerous other probes have ranged out on Mars. What do scientists says of their findings?

Thanks for a good laugh: “an international team of mathematicians and scientists”, and as reported by MSNBC.

I don't think the headline is quite correct.

Viking didn't find life on Mars.

But it is true that the experiments showed positive results.

They didn't see any little green (or orange, ...) things skipping by the cameras. They didn't find any living things.

But the experiments were positive ...

New analysis of 36-year-old data, resuscitated from printouts, shows that NASA found life on Mars

Nonsense. I looked at those findings in Science at the time, and the reaction kinetics were indicative of a chemical reaction. The data don't rule out the possibility of some sort of bacterial life in the areas that have occasional brine seepage, but the Viking data don't support living reactions.

Viking robots found life on Mars in 1976............................... After 976 years? It proves that Viking technology was ahead of its time. And you still do not believe my ancestors arrived in the great Ice Ship?

Lets see,,,scientists are nothing but lying pigs trying to get more money with their latest statements about Mars but the NASA folk are as trustworthy as all get out about global warming.
