The planet has lost a profound majority of it's water and consequently it is ostensibly dead or dying a slow death. Whatever microbes are alive there one must suspect that is probably less diverse than it once was when Mars had an ocean. Perhaps adding more bio diversity to that planet might even help it. Of course we should add this diversity once we find out what life is there if any so as to make responsible choices.
- littlewing 11y agoThat's on the surface, at least. We keep learning how life on our own planet exists places far below sea level, and not just in the ocean. The same could be true for any number of celestial bodies in the known universe.
- danieltillett 11y agoActually most life is found below the surface of the earth - you can find bacteria (and archea) a few km down in the earth.
