Because water is one of the primary requirements for life, scientists said the frozen reservoirs are an encouraging sign of extra-terrestrial
life.

At 8:03 p.m. ET on June 20, SPACE.com reported that NASA had found evidence of water on Mars. The tremendous discovery fuels hope for microbial
life on the Red Planet. It also makes a human mission to Mars more practical.

So what you guys think its just a stage setup to let us know that we are not alone and Mars is having its own civilization 
|
Civilization? Naaaaaah....
What it is, maybe some bacteries/microbes/other primitive life forms, but no civilization. That said, who knows, in 2 or 3 billions of years, when the
sun will be a bit bigger and a big hotter (20-30%), it is not impossible that life on mars would be the only option left for us, as earth will be then
way too warm for our kind.

What that article talks about is the finding of evidences of water (or other liquid), not a confirmation of life on Mars.
And that, as you can see on the Space.com link, is from June 2000, so that is nothing new.

How is this breaking news? We have know about this for a while now(almost 6 months). I am sure there are already threads about it. I know I have read
a few anyways.

Ha! In 2 or 3 Billion years, evolution would have run its natural course and the human species will be long extinct and forgotten.
By that time some other species will be the dominant one on Earth -- maybe some intelligent descendants of the field mice that scurry about our on
planet today.

Looks like NASA's budget is coming up again huh? Every time that their budget comes up the produce some new BS about life on other planets, then
after the budget is given they say ooops.
Here's a PREDICTION for ya, as soon as their budget passes they will announce that their new so called evidence is nothing, but they will keep
looking. Think I am kidding? look at the last time they pulled this BS and what happened after the budget passed...
NASA should be privatized!!!

That is something that you don't know about... Granted, I know it not any better, but I am believing that the human, as a specie, will stay. We will
indeed pretty much likely have evolved, and that said, it is very possible that we won't be just roaming our solar system but many stellar systems.
It is also very believable that by then we won't be the only civilization (I mean... officially  ) and that we will "share space" with
civilization from other planets/systems. But all in all, I think we will still be there. Maybe more "gray" looking, who knows?
