"“It would be very difficult to sustain life as we know it on Mars ...."

What of the life on Mars is not "as we know it" ?

I think we don't have a full evaluation of what "life" is capable of.

I believe that life has to be as we know it, but I’m a carbon chauvinist.

A little thought will tell you that biological life is not caused by water plus minerals containing carbonates. The excerpt uses the word "sustain," not "create."

Let me suggest that y'all ponder on this for a while before speculating on "life as we know it."

AFIK no one knows what creates "life" ab initio, let alone abstract morality.
