Life on Mars found?????

Normally I don't blog about current events, but when NASA scientists are set to announce that they have found strong indicators of life on Mars, you tend to take note. They're supposed to hold a press conference to present information that they have found large gas clouds of methane on the surface of Mars. What would produce these large methange clouds? Usually bacteria.

They believe that the methane clouds are pretty solid evidence that microbes are living in the Martian soil. If they are able to find that life exists in this extreme climate, there are all kinds of applications of that data for use on Earth in some of our more extreme climate. It may even open up the possibility of life on Earth in places where we didn't think life could previously exist.

The idea that they may have found life on Mars at this point in my life is unbelievable. It makes it all the more exciting to think about the research that will be done in the next decade or two to actually find that life.
