Signs of Underground Life on Mars

NASA researchers believe they've found strong evidence that there could be underground life on Mars, huddled around pockets of liquid water. They haven't found the life directly, but instead have discovered a unique methane signature that matches similar environments here on Earth, such as subsurface areas around Rio Tinto, a red-stained river in Spain. In order to get confirmation, NASA would need to send a spacecraft to Mars capable of drilling into the ground - unfortunately, none are planned currently.

That would be awesome
There are in fact microbes deep underground on the earth to whom oxygen is poisonous, so any thing is possible.

No doubt in my mind that life exists there, from what I can gather methane gas in the atmosphere will dissipate very quickly. With the quantities that have been measured in the last few months scientists have come to the conclusion that some life form must be producing it. Especially when they think that water has not existed on the surface for quite some time. Once we find life there and I have no doubt that we will, we will know that we are not alone in the universe. If life can exist on two planets then it is likely that the entire universe is teeming with it. The only question then; are we the only intelligent life form or should I say sentient?

Thanks for the Life on Mars info but there is already a thread about it.

Sorry Mike if I have cut off your conversation. I'm not trying to be nasty.
