Just read this from news.bbc.co.uk, apparently in thier Viking 1 & 2 missons their instrument might have detected the "strange signs of activity in the Martian soil":

Claims have re-emerged that the US space agency (Nasa) did find signs of life on Mars during the historic Viking landings of 1976.

Dr Gil Levin, a former mission scientist, says he now has the evidence to prove it, just days before the US and Europe send new expeditions to the Red Planet.

The United States and Russia have spent billions since the 1960s on a handful of space craft designed to land on Mars.

Only three have succeeded so far: the two Viking probes in the 1970s and Mars Pathfinder in 1997.

In 1976, the world was gripped by excitement when a robotic spacecraft touched down on Mars for the first time in history.

Biology experiments detected strange signs of activity in the Martian soil - akin to microbes giving off gas.

yeah

one of the tests indicated positive forl life, and all the ppl got happy, until they did a different test and got nothing. If u get a chance watch the BBC doco the planets, its in that

Anyone see that movie "The Sandkings". Might have those things living there.

8-)

Did they manage to recover that probe which the idiot yankees crashed because they made an error converting from imperial to metric? God damn imperial... what the hell is wrong with America!

No one would have believed....

what the hell is wrong with America!

lots.

funny thing is that the imperial system is actually based on metric. when "they" standadized the inch, they made = 25.4mm

I don't think too many people would suggest life does not exists elsewhere in the universe in some form. The big question is based around finding intelligent life.

* awaits some tard to say something about trying to find intelligent life right here on earth. :)

ET

Anyone see that movie "The Sandkings"

Yeap its actaully an episode of the outer limits

God damn imperial... what the hell is wrong with America!

Actually the americans don't use the imperial system (thats the english version), they use their own system which is slightly different for a few things (the ounce, fluid ounce and stuff like that).

There's nothing out there, just give it up

omg jim is a government man trying to cover it up!

I was hoping for more of a bite than that :(

If evidence of life were found, even though you obviously believe it won't be, would you accept it and work it into your beliefs or deny it?

I'm not sure how creation works with non-earth life stuff.
