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.
A NASA spokesman told Xinhua on Wednesday in an email that "the collective general opinion of the large majority of the scientific community does not believe the results of the Viking experiments alone rise to the level of extraordinary evidence," as NASA maintains that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
I never believe what nasa says nor clowns online.
ITs a pathetic attempt for more funding to look for life on mars where there is zero evidence of anylife

What constitutes "proof" ?

"The science team believed the LR data had been skewed by a non-biological property of Martian soil, resulting in a false positive," according to NASA.

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.

Like? How has space exploration improved our society?
I found a link that lays it out pretty simply. This is really just scratching the surface.
20 things we wouldn't have without space travel

Space exploration will save our society , not yet but in the future we will need to leave this planet and work done now is the platform for that eventual need.
We can't stand still if we are to survive , it's nature.

s it cool? Yes. Is it necessary? No. When we have homeless vets and people struggling to pay bills it's a waste of our]/url] money.
There are so many stupid things that the US spends much more money on than Mars.
It would be a much different world if the US had not spent the money it did on space exploration.
Like? How has space exploration improved our society?
Are you kidding?
Look what Hubble has done for the education of our children.
Look at all of the technical advanced made because we understand the nature of elements born in stars.
Look at the public space programs, namely SpaceX that will employ thousands of our children.
The list goes on infinitely and your statement required a little thought before writing it.
lol what ? how we get into freedom of speech ?
When really its a false positive. Its nonsense.
i'm done take care
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?

I love science and space but that isn't going to happen.
200 years ago there were probably those who said the same thing at the thought of putting people into space and having the live there.

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.
