Since the Opportunity Rover, the field of Astrobiology has Exploded!
The 'Blueberry' Revolution! Astrobiology in 2004, around the time the Mars rovers stumbled into all those mysterious spheres and evidence of water, looked like this conference below, a handful of papers with an introduction asking.... "What the hell is astrobiology"? NASA annual Astrobiology Conference 2004 Abstracts http://www.aics-research.com/lecture...004/index.html To this incredibly competitive and robust field chock full of world class research..... NASA annual Astrobiology Conference 2012 Abstracts http://abscicon2012.arc.nasa.gov/abstracts/ This kind of scientific explosion in a particular field is exciting to say the least, more so considering the dramatic topic....life elsewhere. But it also indicates just how many credible people believe Mars ....should have life. The blueberries that launched a thousand papers~ http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/a...0P2956M2M1.JPG s

For a subject that involves extraterrestrial life, which hasn't yet been proved, and which, around here anybody who mentions it gets an automatic "ko0k" label, that's a lotta abstracts!

Look at this MSL rover image from just the other day. At the very upper right is the mountain it's approaching. See all those fine layers, one after another?

The almost naked surface of Mars isn't all that life worthy, not even for accommodating much of the advanced technology that we can toss at it. However, underground is certainly worth considering, just like on/ within our moon could be downright nifty for accommodating life as we know it, and even way better yet once our moon is relocated to Earth L1. http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth,Brad_Guth,Brad.Guth,BradGuth,BG,Guth Usenet/”Guth Venus”

Natural or directed panspermia is certainly another alternative worth our considering as a possibility, even as having given life to Earth that may have been among the most recent generation of cosmic places to have received those spores of life. http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth,Brad_Guth,Brad.Guth,BradGuth,BG,Guth Usenet/”Guth Venus”
