The jury is still out with me on this one. I don't have enough evidence to say there is or there is not life on Mars. However, I personally lean in the non-life direction. I still go by the rule - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Well you know, bottom line, if you want to find intelligent life on Mars, put men up there! We put 12 men on the moon over a quarter of a century ago. Were would we be, in your opinion, if we had kept up that rate of exploration?
