Life on Mars?

You know what's crazy, looking at the stone formations around the 'Martian' say it all, it's a rock formation, look how the stone shelves nearby are layered, the spacing between lumps on the 'Martian' match it almost perfectly, from the look of things it could easily just be a half buried rock.

However it is also in a strange place, without proper depth perception it is very hard to tell the geological lay of the land so to speak when all around is rock and desert.

It could just be an eroded rock spire, we have had rocks that form similar shapes to humans throughout the planet, and I'm not the first to admit, that we like to see what we think we believe it is rather than what is likely closer to fact.

Ah well it's all crazy in the end.

DUDE. It's 2pac.

And seriously, the thing is tiny. Check the full size pic, the "martian" is smaller than a lighter. Some "spire" indeed.
 
Meh, the distance is screwey on that thing though (at least my perception of it.) when looking at maximaz's image shows first off that the perspective is odd, I had no idea what I was looking at for 5 minutes until I zoomed in to the lower left corner and found the 'Martian'.

Besides 2 inches or 2 miles, a spire is a spire...

The whole stuff with that piece of rock looking like human.

that is for sure ,but if that piece of rock would happen to be a statue things would get interesting !
 
They wouldn't. It'd obvious the Russians put it in there and then they'd laugh their asses of, while NASA would try to make contact with the "aliens" that were supposed to do it.

I bet they also have a button that'll turn everything back into the Soviet Union!

Nothing is too evil to suspect those damnable Russians of!
 
Lifeorms on mars?

People already knew for centuries that Life outside of the earth is a extremly high possibility. Europa (not the continent ...) in orbit around Jupiter is covered by a thick ice shield and its eventualy possible that under this layer are lifeforms. Where water is, is life always a possiblity.
 
I think there is indeed a greater chance of finding microbial lifeforms in the liquid water under the thick ice crust of Europa (one of Jupiter's 62 confirmed moons).
It would of course be very exciting if they found life on Mars..

There are likely billions of planets that have been around for billion of years and are likely to be around for billions more.

What are the odds that the spark of life occurred in the primordial ooze only once in the span of this universe?

It would be a far more interesting and less likely thing if life outside our planet is never discovered throughout the time of man then if the precursors to life or evidence of it's existence is found on Mars.
 
err, not sure if these threads should have been merged since the initial thread is obviously a joke.
