    The landing shocked my heart. I mean real video of landing? Just amazing.

    I think we ought to be looking for intelligent life on Earth before we start looking elsewhere don’t you?

    Human ingenuity may be the last bastion of hope for a dying planet --our own!
  • Life on Mars is probably up to 1 kilometer under the surface. Salt water deposits + protection from radiation may equal life - 😮. Next key spot to look for life is on Enceladus (moon of Saturn).

    This is a nice documentary, it already was three years ago, when you started airing it. It's been a long time since Perseverance is on Mars, any new documentary in the making?

    Life in some form was discovered by the late Gil Devin and team in 1976. Sadly he will never get the Nobel.

    ... if we are looking for life on / around the other celestial bodies, we should be looking also to create one that we are interested about and that can thrive in their local conditions. It would be also a clever-wise part of the (same) plan, as we go. Just for our vote, on the subject, for where it counts or matters :).

    If there was life ever on mars we would have found it by now. We already went to Gail crater.. what’s the difference?

    To state categorically that anything, anything at all, will never happen, is a tremendous risk. So good luck with that!
