Might be possible to do both from orbit: look for both high
concentrations of methane and water vapor at the same time from orbit.

Yeah it would be possible but the best human chances of finding life is
at the ground.

Making the rovers seek methane (that curiosity can detect) and *come
back* to the places where methane was detected is an imperative.

Plan the next moves of the rover for following the methane instead of
wasting this chance of finding life.

It is a pity that the americans in this group do not try to tell NASA to
reprogram the rovers to find life NOW instead of waiting for the next rover.

I tried to tell NASA, and I wrote to one astronaut of the ISS. I wrote
in his blog but got no answer. I am not even american.

It is a pity that a civilization that sends machines to Mars is not able
to pilot them correctly once they are there. Or maybe it is a sign of
the state of that civilization, I do not really know.


Europeans are way behgind the americans what technology goes. And the
rest of the world is even farther behind than those. India send a
machine, maybe others will follow but there is nothing in human
technology that rovers in mars that could make competition to this robot.

Curiosity.

That is what is missing from the plans of NASA.

Curiosity.

Look for life now!

It doesn't cost a penny more. All the money has been spent, the machine
is roving around in Mars. Look for life then!

Follow the methane!

Come back to look at the fossil microbial mats that were discovered from
the photos of that rover by a microbiologist here on earth.

If this fossils are really rests of microbial mats it means that life in
mars is the same as life on earth in fact. That would be a tremendous
discovery.

How can you just rove on? Going besides this incredible discovery!

Just following... following what actually? What is NASA looking for in Mars?

This program makes no sense. I just do not follow.
