The question is whether life is the exception or the rule.
Either answer will have implications that are awe-inspiring, if you are inclined to awe.
I can't wait for them to start core-drilling; I want to see whats under Martian soil.

IMHO, and yes it is only an
opinion, life will be the rule as apposed to the exception.
This is not unlike the argument over extra solar system planets a few years ago.

I suspect there are interesting things to see in the Martian canyons as well.

You are correct, is life the rule or the exception. Since life has been found on the earth almost everywhere a person looks, including some very hostile environments, I want to believe it is the rule, not the exception. One of my hopes is, before I die, we find some form of life on another planet. Even if it is just a microbe on Mars I would love to see that.

I concur. But first let's see what is in the lake under 10,000 feet of ice in Antarctica. Last I heard we wanted to try out a Europa type probe to penetrate the ice into the lake but we were concerned about biological contamination from the probe to the lake.
