As the exploration continues towards Mars one question and possible problem still lies ahead, Could there be life on Mars? On Monday NASA launched into its first-of-its-kind probe that will go deeper into the planets interior. The probes goal is to analyze the planet as a whole, anywhere from listening to Marsquakes to thickness of the mantle/crust. The plan carries into 2020 when NASA and the ESA (European Space Agency) plan to launch ExoMars Rover with a focus of attempting to find life on Mars. The big concern is that if humans move to Mars whatever life is on Mars would become extinct. The life scientist think to have revealed is bacteria, known as Martian Bacteria.

 

This week I decided to use a think article this week to change it up a little bit. This article certainly did not disappoint. This is a great informative article. This article tells a lot of things that I personally did not known. The article shows what the upcoming plans for Mars are. One part of the article that did not overly surprise me was the notion that if humans would inhabit Mars they would drive the Mars life to extinction. Overall the article proved to be very interesting, and well done.

    A “think article.” I’m not sure what to think of that, but it sounds positive.

    That is an interesting question: Should we inhabit mars if we know we will wipe out native life? I think I know what the answer will be.
