Prediction: NASA Will Not Find Life on Mars
February 17, 2021 | David F. Coppedge
The Perseverance rover is scheduled to land today. As usual, the search for life is a priority for the mission.
Our prediction that no life will be found on Mars is based on history, probability, the harshness of the Mars environment and the complexity of a minimal cell. We should qualify the prediction by stipulating that if any sign of life is found, it will turn out to be remnants of Earth life that somehow got transported to Mars, perhaps by a glancing meteorite.
We can also add another prediction: a null finding will not stop NASA from looking for life on Mars. It’s impossible to prove a universal negative, for one thing. And NASA knows that the L word life is a sexy term to maintain public interest in Mars missions. NASA will keep at it even if a sample return mission brings back a sterile sample of Martian soil, because even then they could claim they looked in the wrong place.

Can the US flag planted there long ago be retrieved?
What, no Mormons there either?
Since Mars is in an orbit further from the Sun than Earth is pretty certain that microbial life has made it that on the solar Wind. So finding evidence of life is not pie-in-the-sky. Mars used to have Oceans and a decent enough atmosphere. Earth life could have established itself there.
oh yeah, then who carved Elvis’ face up there?

Musk will find it. :)

Better not find life on Mars.
If life is found, Nancy and Schumer and AOC, will send the National Guard to make sure that the environment is not destroyed by visiting humans.
Is that you Sheila?
There have been several missions that have failed.
Wasn’t she Alice?
So we won’t need the Slim Whitman?

I doubt they’ll find any intelligent life on Earth with.
Finding evidence that there had been life on Mars was the only question that I ever expected to be answered.
“We should qualify the prediction by stipulating that if any sign of life is found, it will turn out to be remnants of Earth life that somehow got transported to Mars, perhaps by a glancing meteorite.”
The way this is written, I wonder if the author thinks there is no life in space anywhere. Does the bible claim Earth is the only planet created for life?
Actually, I am quite unhappy with all the buzz about finding life on Mars, and, for that matter, finding life anywhere outside the Earth.
Why do not we just investigate Mars features, composition, do scientific studies, temperature, etc.
Instead we are constantly fed this life investigation crap. I frankly do not care and drives me nuts. Even if they find some low life there, what difference it would make?
NASA somehow thinks that finding life sells, or what?
Or maybe they want to find proof of Darwin theories?
Must have used D.C. as the criteria.
Like Joe Biden, your senility is showing
