Must be that time of year... budget time.

Some people just can’t grasp the implications of Genesis.

For me, all the remains of destroyed statues are signs of life. ;)

All the compounds mentioned are organic compounds with sulfur in them. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s odd they’re all organosulfur species, as on Earth the vast majority of smaller organics produced by living critters do not contain sulfur. Some certainly do, but it’s curious everything they’ve picked up on Mars does contain sulfur.
Not sure if they looked for brimstone.

Not surprised - Mars has an ice cap or sorts and many canals and canyons so it’s been well known that mars had water on it at one point which would make basic chemical precursors like these likely.
But it’s still not known if life ever actually existed on Mars before whatever cataclysm befell it.

That’s very bigoted of you to say that all martians were denziens of hell!

I thought Curiosity had already found organic materials.
Like another poster said, must be budget time.

Life on Mars? Burroughs was 125 years ahead of his time ;)

The existence of methane on Mars means nothing in regard to the existence of life forms. The atmospheres of the outer planets contain large amounts methane, ammonia and other organic compounds. That’s either a natural process or a lot of farts.

Is this the big announcement NASA was going to make today at 2pm EDT?
