With the help of modern tools such as the genome, high-powered computer modeling and robotics, they're finding some out-of-this-world answers, ones that may lead to Mars and beyond. Just read yer Bible and save us some tax dollars.... < /sarc>

So how does the rock leave Mars? Does it leap off the planet?

Perhaps I have missed something. I wasn't aware that there was life on Mars. Consequently, how could there be Martian microbes??
To: planetesimal
Or, perhaps life began on Earth and microbes from Earth colonized Mars.
Or, microbes from comets colonized both Mars and Earth
Or, Life began on one of Jupiter's moon's and microbes from there came to Earth/Mars
Or, Interplanetary aliens visited...
And now the real reason for the story:
worried that funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is vaporizing

It is about a billion times more likely that life was blasted off earth and colonized mars.
Considering that life has bloomed here non-stop for about 3.5 billion years and mars looks like it has been dead for at least a billion years (if not always.)
I always find it wierd that some people are more willing to believe life on earth must have come from somewhere else considering how hard it is to get started in the first place. Well it would have been just as hard (or more likely a billion times harder) for life to start somewhere else in the first place just as well.
There is however a strain of bacteria (the smallest known forms) that have adapted to survive extremely high radiation levels (levels that would have never existed on earth even in a highest radiation zones of a uranium mine). It would make no sense for a bacteria to develop a biologically- expensive process to withstand extreme radiation levels if those levels never existed on the planet. But those radiation levels just happen to exist in space.

Interesting. Since the evolution cultists have failed again and again to replicate their mythic "life from primordial soup" through experiment, now some are claiming an extraterrestrial source.
For them, any explanation, no matter how farfetched, is plausible - as long as it avoids the inexorable answer.

...and those Martian microbes came from... Magic!
LOL!
