It’s proof that wild cows once roamed the Martian plains. But they are gone now, and their methane is all that remains.

Is there an origin for methane other than as a waste product of living things?

The fact that so much hydrocarbons are found in the solar system brings the whole peak oil theory into question.

Everybody can just chill. I had kimchi, beer, refried beans and tequila a few nights ago. All in the same evening.

Sorry, the flatulence attained escape velocity because of the massive amount of SO2.

My bad NASA.

Bay Area people will remember the old “Cows? In Berkeley?” ads for a local dairy (Berkeley Farms), but this even better!

When do “Martian Farms” dairy products hit the grocery shelves?

There is a lot of methane on earth caused naturally. Is there a problem now that we have not been told about?

As soon as I saw the headline about methane on Mars I knew this would be great.

Carbon and hydrogen are common elements in the universe. Methane is the simplest combination of those elements.

Whether you believe that life was generated spontaneously or by divine guidance, you would need to start with compounds containing carbon and hydrogen, along with other elements. Methane would be one of the most logical building blocks, or at least an intermediate, to form more complex hydrocarbons.

So, while it is true that living things generate methane, it is also true that methane occurs many places in the universe, and must have occurred on earth before there was any life. So how in the world can anyone assume that finding methane indicates that life must have been present?

These kinds of articles are just nuts.

I'm not sure why they don't announce that there's plant life on Mars:
 

They could also confirm humanoid life on Mars, it would seem:
