Damn right there is current life on Mars. In fact it is coming to a neighborhood near you on 29 June (War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg).

their paper currently is being peer reviewed.

Naturally the press couldn't wait until the review was complete.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Don't tell the Masons about possible life on Mars, they will just try to control it with their secrets.

NASA Researche[r]s Claim Evidenc[e] of Present Life on Mars

Copy-and-paste very much wants to be your friend, Rev. :-)

[Dunstan McShane]

Making such a discovery at Rio Tinto, Stoker said in 2003, would mean uncovering a new, previously uncharacterized metabolic strategy for living in the subsurface. “For that reason, the search for life in the Rio Tinto is a good analog for searching for life on Mars,” she said.

Except that Rio Tinto is on a planet already famed for being lousy with life-forms, and Mars, so far, isn't.

Otherwise, yeah, perfect analog . . .

This is an article with little substance. The evidence might point to past life, but not current life. I doubt that God created a dead universe.

[thegreatbeast]

Well maybe they'll luck out and earth will be hit by a giant asteroid before global warming takes its toll.

strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars

Time to start a Mars-crevo ping list.

NASA Scientists told a group of space officials at a private meeting here Sunday that they have found strong evidence that life may exist today on Mars, but that they are having trouble finding life in the womb.

[BurbankKarl]

Dr. Carol Stoker wrote:

A story has appeared in Space.com which quotes us
inaccurately and without permission. The story is based on hearsay
and is factually incorrect.

Here are the facts:

1. On Sunday night we were attending a private party
of space exploration enthusiasts in which there was a
discussion about the possible meaning of the results
from recent Mars missions. We engaged in the
discussion and expressed thoughts and opinions as
individual scientists on our own time and did not
represent ourselves as speaking for NASA.

2. No one at the party identified themselves as a
reporter, and in fact no reporters were present. This
article is based on hearsay about what somebody at the
party thought they heard us say. We think this
represents extremely poor journalistic standards.

3. No Nature paper has been submitted with Rio Tinto
results. This claim is simply wrong and we did not
make this claim. The MARTE project has several papers
in preparation that describe the work we are doing at
Rio Tinto and the first results of that work, but
nothing has been submitted yet. Preliminary results
have been published in abstract form at various
scientific meetings. If you want to see what the MARTE
team has actually said about results from Rio Tinto
drilling and its relevance to life on Mars, go to
www.marteproject.com and click on publications. All
our REAL publications are posted there.

4. The work at Rio Tinto is relevant to finding life
in a subsurface terrestrial environment and can't be
used to infer anything about life on Mars, directly.
The Rio Tinto work by its very nature can't tell us if
there is life on Mars, but certainly helps formulate
the strategy for how to search for life on Mars. One
approach to searching for extant life on Mars is by
drilling. Partly for this reason, the MARTE project
was selected for funding by NASA's ASTEP program, out
of the Science Mission Directorate and is a joint
project between NASA and Spain's Center for
Astrobiology.

NASA Researches Claim Evidence of Present Life on Mars

Perhaps it is budget time.

[joe_broadway]

This is just about as believable as the life found in the claimed martian rock found in antarctica. Making this kind of claim is like the claims made about Nebraska man.

I think some people are hoping desperately to find proof that life began by spontaneous generation.
