They thought they'd spotted signs of methane in the red planet's atmosphere, which would force astronomers to contemplate the possibility of biological activity on Mars.

How is it that methane is such an indicator for life? Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't science established significant amounts of methane in the upper atmospheres of both Uranus and Neptune? I don't think anyone is expecting to find life on either of those two worlds.

What an absolute waste of money on the hobby of the anointed ones. They have not turned up anything that they didn’t already know from previous observations.

it’s amazing to me that if they discover a microrganism of any nature whatsoever on Mars, they will determine that it is LIFE....if a woman is six months pregnant it is merely a part of her body that she chooses to get rid of....not life

I was so hoping there was something farting up there.

Mars may have had water but it never had farting whales?
