Discovery of life on Mars is a scheduled event.
Don't get me wrong.. There is great science done by the Mars missions, however it is a long drawn out affair, each one ignoring a myriad of visual as
well as sensor driven evidence of previous missions.
Like most things that employ so many people and have such funding, the high level mission is to get the most bang for the buck and continue on until
they decide to seriously answer the question.
That will not happen until there is another goal that guarantees the public interest in future missions and that equates to funding.
