Personally speaking, and I fully accept that I might be wrong, but I don't think we're finding life on Mars or anywhere else anytime soon. I don't think it's there. Time will tell.
I think we have already found life on Mars, please review my below signature.
Regarding your avatar, it is offensive, insulting, and Anti Christian! It is a religious attack against one's belief! How it escapes the Mods is beyond me. If someone depicted some inflammatory comment on their aviator regarding Hinduism, Buddhism, or being anti-Muslim, they would be asked to remove it or would have been crushed by the ban hammer of Thor.
....did you seriously use the term, "Shenanigans"?

How the holy hell can they say they are close to discovering life on Mars?
If life doesn't or hasn't existed on Mars they will never find it.
And if it does of had previously existed they would have no way of know when they would find the proof.
The only possible way they could say that is that nasa has already found proof and have scheduled its announcement. Coincidentally right after the next election..
I'm calling shenanigans.

You are contradicting yourself. So which is it? You're talking out of both sides of your mouth here. Do you actually have a point of view here or are you just arguing with every statement?

I guess NASA already would know there is life there by saying something like that...
But now ESA is evolved they know they cannot keep the truth from us anymore.
Perhaps we humans evolved on Mars
I think your probably correct.
In the back of my mind, something tells me we were from mars, and destroyed it like were doing here on earth now.
And were going back now we've nearly wrecked earth.
Wash,rinse,repeat...
Don't you think there would be some pretty obvious evidence of a previous civilization on Mars if this was the case??
Cities, ruins, roads, monuments...and things like that???
Depends on who gets there first to "tidy up" and decide what we get to see.
Look at Egypt, we still domt have the equipment to build the pyramids, but surely someone did.
I think there's alot of history we don't access to.
This is some BS.

Just by sheer numbers it would be a safe bet there is life out there somewhere.
The distance means we will probably never know.
As for Mars, It could have had life at one time.
I'll need proof it's still there.

Interesting on the 2 year timeline. They apparently need that much time to stage some proof?
The drill is designed to extract samples from various depths, down to a maximum of two metres. It includes an infrared spectrometer to characterise the mineralogy in the borehole. Once collected, a sample is delivered to the rover’s analytical laboratory, which will perform mineralogical and chemistry determination investigations. Of special interest is the identification of organic substances. The rover is expected to travel several kilometres during its mission.

The mission of the Mars 2020 rover focuses on surface-based studies of the Martian environment, seeking preserved signs of biosignatures in rock samples that formed in ancient Martian environments with conditions that might have been favorable to microbial life.
It is the first rover mission designed to seek signs of past microbial life. Earlier rovers first focused on and confirmed that Mars once had habitable conditions.
