Mars Has Life!

Ex ante:

What is with all of this secrecy? Only backward people who can't handle new news resort to secrecy.

It is obvious now that by June 2018, the cat is out of the convoluted bag. Mars currently harbors life. 

The many kinds of observations from Earth, Mars orbitors and land explorers all point to the fact that currently life is present on Mars, our neighbor planet. It exists below the surface of the planet in some locations, like old sea beds, washes, buckled ground with water, thin ice sheets, subterrain, etc. It probably consists of organisms, not large at all nor very complex. Although complexity may be needed in order to survive such a harsh environment. But organisms do adapt.

Various and unrelated Mars explorers over the last 30 years have independently sent back sample data of various types, including soil samples, which indicate there are various building blocks of life elements (that we assume but could be different) present. And then there is what is found in crystals. There could be more found as time goes on, it is not limited to time or locations, and there are many untouched locations on Mars.

At University of Copenhagen, Denmark, a team, among others, has said that the surface of Mars could have crystalized in some areas. These crystals could have captured elements of some small biology within. They calculate that this crystallization could have occurred over 100 million years before Earth began being habitable.

So it is ascertainable, Mars has life. Question now is, is it native to Mars or introduced? 

Might help if someone sends a probe that is sensitive to detecting live organisms.

Late June 2018 report on article in the journal "Science". Not counting future endeavors and results, this affirms again Mars can harbor life.

A rover, Curiosity, in the report indicates that organic molecules are detected in the slush of an ancient lake bed. Also the possibility enhanced by finding methane deep in the ground that may be produced. One cause of methane production is organic chemistry. Certainly not the first report of that kind.

Recently, NASA again has reported the organic detection by the Viking landers of 1976 had samples of organic compounds, long before other landers or rovers, but had unintentionally destroyed the evidence. The molecule complex chlorobenze was then said to be present and identified. May be reconfirmed by the rover, Curiosity. It has also been noted that the surfaces of planets and moons could be layered with various compounds traveling through space which alit on surfaces for millions of years.

Why aren't there more astrobiologists working on these organic chemistry findings?
