They did, you dip****. You're just to stupid to figure out what the
equipment does.

Who are "they"? If you mean NASA, they went on a geology field-trip to
see whether there had been water, how much, for how long etc. Water
is, as far as we know, required for life. So they're not exactly
dodging the question.

Beagle 2 had a more biological slant to it. A few choice quotes on
what Beagle 2 was meant to look for:

# occurrence of organic residues
# complexity and structure of organic material
# Seek trace atmospheric species indicative of extant life.

So it sounds to me like "they" did send "equipment to measure for
biological organisms or remnants thereof", and you're talking
ill-informed crap. I suggest you pull your head out of your visionary
ass and do some reading.
