The present day habitability of Mars is an area of research that has exploded hugely in the last decade, to the extent that it s often hard to keep track of everything that s going on. This is by way of background material for my other articles on habitability of Mars.
algae, bacteria that exists under your feet even in deserts and harsh regions but on mars, because of the surface that it is bleached we think meteor craters perhaps ruptured the surface of mars and perhaps this clay and carbonate material compatible with life was thrown into the space, creating a crater. so why not focus on craters? this is a game-changer now. we re beginning to reshift our focus now to the mars that exists under the surface. martha: what is it going to tell us about whether or not life existed? like anything similar to march shuns or human life or anything along those lines? that is what people really want to know. i don t think we ll find any little green men. martha: no green men. if you take a look at journalists say, they say follow the money. scientists say follow the water. you have clay you have carbonates. when you look at the mclaughlin crater, bingo.
