New analysis of 36-year-old data, resuscitated from printouts, shows that NASA found life on Mars, an international team of mathematicians and scientists conclude in a paper published this week.

I never did accept the explanation that what Viking found was nothing more than non-life chemical reactions. Couple these new findings with the mystery of methane being constantly replenished on Mars, we now have two strong indicators that there is life on that planet.

Almost 40 years and now they tell us the stick turned pink.

Numerous other probes have ranged out on Mars. What do scientists says of their findings?

Thanks for a good laugh: “an international team of mathematicians and scientists”, and as reported by MSNBC.

I don't think the headline is quite correct.

Viking didn't find life on Mars.

But it is true that the experiments showed positive results.

They didn't see any little green (or orange, ...) things skipping by the cameras. They didn't find any living things.

But the experiments were positive ...

Nonsense. I looked at those findings in Science at the time, and the reaction kinetics were indicative of a chemical reaction. The data don't rule out the possibility of some sort of bacterial life in the areas that have occasional brine seepage, but the Viking data don't support living reactions.

There *was* life 40 years ago but global warming wiped it out.
It existed for billions of years but could not survive the Bush administration.

Manufactured way of saying "We need more money".....The impact of not knowing this revelation hasn't changed anything. You simply cannot believe anything anyone who works for government says anymore, pure and simple.
