Not true, the first lander we sent found life

Really ?
You talking about the "bunny rabbit" or the "blueberries" ?

Exactly what would that be? You got proof of anything that mimics life. A virus is about the only thing I can think of.

Depends on what your definition of mimic is , is.

If a way exists to shorten the distances involved all we need do is to find it , the only way we will do that is to continue pushing forward we just need to find the trick.

Who just 20 years ago would have believed a rocket could launch , deliver its payload and then land again , that was the realm of science fiction just two decades ago , our progress is slow but the more we learn the quicker it will get , not in our lifetimes but for the future use's.

They were found by rovers.

Not landers.

All it has done is given us a "wow factor" in seeing the images. Aside from improving existing products, which I still submit would have happened anyway, there are very few things that have been a true benefit to us. Understanding radiation, absolutely. But going to Mars?

Things like going to Mars is what brings the bright minds into needed fields. Science and math are needed to solve the problems of the world.

Yet they're working on things that dig dirt on Mars. Whoopie. Why aren't they solving our energy problems? A cure for cancer? Nope, they are wasting time driving that big RC car on a rock. Do you honestly believe that's the best use of their talents?

Only a small percent get to work on digging in the dirt on Mars and such. Most end up where they are needed.

Then you are saying that the lander did not find anything ?

I'll ask again since you failed in that attempt. That is not proof of "found life" .... Please don't insult my intelligence with that bs .

If you believe what NASA said here it's not me insulting your intelligence.

"NASA concluded that the LR had found a substance mimicking life, but not life,"

Exactly what would that be? You got proof of anything that mimics life. A virus is about the only thing I can think of.

Your statement was found life. The nasa link does not confirm that. You are lying or just ignorant. That is not proof of life. we did not "found life"

i don't believe it found anything to do with mimicking life . Its a process not understood being attributed to mimcing life . When really its a false positive. Its nonsense.

This is the year 2020 and we are on a conspiracy board.

With all the evidence (not proof) I have seen and read. My logic tells me NASA found life.

If I believe (about 95%) that NASA found life in the 70's. I am going to make the statement that NASA found life.

I live in the US, so freedom of speech and all that.

You are free to believe what you like .
Until it hits 6 - Sigma , it is just a theory

Life on Mars could be found within two years but world is ‘not prepared’, Nasa’s chief scientist says

Still quoting the tired old "not prepared" from 60 or more years ago.....
This is the 21st Century

All successful landers have found a lot of things.

You are free to believe what you like.

Why thank you.

it is just a theory

True. It is backed by some evidence though.

There will be no proof until we bring back samples.

Even then, we may have to wait till man sets foot on Mars for solid proof of life.

Good Stuff!
Thanks for sharing.
S&F

Lift-off in a few minutes!

Godspeed Perseverance.

May you make it safely to Mars.



ETA - We have liftoff!

Congratulations NASA and good luck Percy, now we have to wait for the hard part.

Sky crane for the win.
