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.

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

"Day to day, it’s easy to lose sight of an astonishing fact: Since 2012, humankind has been driving a nuclear-powered science-mobile the size of an SUV on another planet."

By humankind they mean mankind and that mankind is Americans.

Well duh. OBVIOUSLY there is life on Mars. Somebody had to take the photo of the rover!

I forget now how they do those self-portraits - something to do with the retractable arm, and then they photo-shop the arm back in to the image.

ah yes, the continued, very lucrative search for data interpretations to fit the leftist theory of godless bio-genesis.

So Mars is farting?

Can we make them pay pay carbon taxes?

Cow farts are taxed.
