PolitiFact s ruling: False
Here s why: A group of scientists claims they have found proof of life in the form of fungi on Mars, according to a blog post and posts on social media. Scientists Claim to Spot Fungus Growing on Mars in NASA Rover Photos, read a Futurism article headline. MARS’ MAGIC MUSHROOMS Life on Mars shock claim as ‘growing FUNGI’ spotted in Mars Curiosity Rover snaps, read another in The Sun.

The posts were flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.
The Mars Perseverance Rover now operational on Mars is using a barrier film from FUCHS Lubricants member company, Nye Lubricants, a manufacturer of specialty lubricants for space applications and critical applications in the automotive, medical, and semiconductor industries.
The Mars Perseverance Rover uses the company’s NyeBar Barrier Film formulation which plays a critical role in preventing oil from migrating to the Rover’s mast camera and compromising the image. A thin coating of NyeBar is also used to protect printed circuit boards by repelling moisture, oil, and attendant dust entrapment.
“Due to the extensive development time required for space projects, it can often be years between when we sell a grease and when it actually launches. It always feels like a great accomplishment when we see these projects come to fruition,” explained George Mock, president of Nye Lubricants.

The onboards all told the same story: the driver gets a bit wide, they try to correct some oversteer and then it’s all goes 40ºC on a mixed colours cycle. Thankfully after what felt like at least 10 revolutions, every driver managed to get out okay
