Now that it's been confirmed that the methane on Mars lasts less than a year in the atmosphere (meaning it is continuously replenished from the surface), there's a greater possibility of there being life on Mars.

Discuss.

Pic related, it's the trees on Mars. (Not officially, but they look like trees so what else do I call them? Big ass trees if they were; smaller ones are half a mile across).

It's probably a pseudo-fungal bloom.

Couldn't find anything on the actual Mars Global Surveyor site, but this is the article I read.

Sure look like trees. I wonder if there are any better pictures of that area. You'd think NASA would make something like that a priority.

[Anonymous No.1796315]

oh man imagine if there is really life in mars.
I would be so freaking excited u.u

I'd be even more excited if NASA had a hope of wrangling the funding to send a mission to Mars designed to retrieve some so they could be brought to earth and had their DNA/RNA/whateverthefuckmartianfungiuses sequenced.

Mars here.
LOL I's just trolling. You fell for it again Earth.

They could just make it a target for a future rover mission. Or you could just save up a couple billion dollars and go yourself.

[Anonymous No.1796344]

I bet the methane is just geothermal activity.

The trade off is a new life form to study.

I love how everyone gets this collective amnesia or some shit
they already HAVE found 'life' on mars, though technically it was dead, and fossilized on that chunk of rock they brought back
microbes or some shit
everyone seems to just brush that aside though.
as far as i'm concerned, once we get our shit set up there, and start uncovering larger fossils and actual remains of larger forms of life, i'm honestly not going to be surprised one bit

Fine, *current* life on Mars. Most people gloss over the specifics, doesn't mean we don't know about them.

[Anonymous No.1796429]

We are the life from mars. Soon we will return home.

oh, but that's debatable

[Anonymous No.1796467]

there are numerous locations with extreemly unusual regularly shaped features on that planet
this is the 'face' that was observed in 1976
would it not serve purpose in a disinformation campaign to declair an obvious artifical strucutre to be something absurd?

Yeah, right.

Is that a painting?
I'm sure that's paint...and a canvas.

[Anonymous No.1796515]

>>1796467
but the 'face' has already been shown to be just a big pile of rocks and shit :/
the resolution of the cameras back then was horrible.
i'll post the hi-def image as soon as I can find it
..as far as the government 'covering up' shit... well yea. they're the gov'ment. its what they do.
I wouldn't be surprised if they've already set up shop on the fucking moon by now.

[Anonymous No.1796517]

Mars is a garden-planet you fools!

[Anonymous No.1796525]

I guess from the right angles and shit.. it probably 'would' look like a face from up above

you are just the kind of turd that must float to the top to make a disinformation campagin succesful.
if /sci/ never takes a sceond look at this /sci/ fails to persue science and accepts its roll following the authority figures who are in place to insure that the owned clowns are truly owned
heres John Lear as in LEAR JET asserting that Venus is more of a garden than mars.

Entire argument is appeal to authority of John Lear, William Casey, and former Canadian Defence Minister.
