- DeepSpaceFrontier, yet again you are wrong. The article has EVERYTHING to do with the possibility of life (in microbial form) existing on Mars in the past. Reading comprehension for the win! To believe that everything came from and will come from Earth is to be very close-minded. For just once, open your mind to the fact that there are countless billions of planets in the universe. To believe that WE are the only life is not only scientifically impractical, its just plain arrogant. Its as plausible as some divine person with a magic wand that made everything in a few days for your viewing pleasure.

- It has been described as a fortuitous discovery. Spirit has been driving with a broken wheel that constantly digs a trough as the vehicle trundles across the Martian landscape.
In May this year, scientists working on the mission noticed the churned-up soil had a much brighter appearance than usual.
Further investigation revealed it to be extremely rich in silica - the main ingredient of window glass - and Spirit was commanded to examine the ground and nearby rocks in detail for extra clues.
The researchers have now concluded that the bright material must have been produced in one of two ways.
One hypothesis is that Spirit is seeing hot-spring deposits produced when water dissolves silica at one location and then dumps it in another.
It will be interesting to see exactly how much silica they found, as this could be an interesting discovery.

- I seriusly don't understand why people thumb this down. If there is or has been water on mars, the chances of there being life somewhere in the past, is astronomicly larger than if there where no water.
 Shandooga rated 10 months ago- Bull(*sneeze*)it! There is no life on mars. Evolution is a fraud, a fantasy and a religion.

- The title of this article suggests the possibility that microbial life has existed in the past. That's not what the article itself says. Therefore, this is yet another example of science writers mocking their own intelligence. If microbial life exists anywhere in the solar system- as it possibly does- the most likely explanation for it will be that it originated on earth.
NASA is relevant. The work they do is important. We don't have to resort to propaganda-like half-truths to make them seem so. Articles like this don't do anyone any good.
