Dude - Mars billows out CO2 and methane during it's seasons, indicating that there is microbial life on that planet as well. The media has told us that life is rare and that WE ARE ALONE IN THE GALAXY. I saw it with my own eyes of Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining in an authoritative way that we as a human species have to accept that we are alone in this galaxy. Yet another lie pushed by the mainstream media. Also a glaring breakdown in logic to assert to a definitive negative, especially on the concept of life existing on one of the 100 billion or so star systems in the galaxy. They can't even get their story straight. The US military is already acknowledging UFO's and the POTUS has hinted that the truth is a really big deal. How many times will the story change and the goal posts be moved until we acknowledge that ET's have visited earth and have been for a very long time?

At this point, i wouldn't believe the POTUS if he claimed it was raining, so you might want to remove that from your list of evidence.

Personally, I think they are just overreacting to their excessive optimism about the prevalence of life in our solar system before any of the probe missions to Mars and Venus. If you read old astronomy books from that period they were full of speculation and hope that we would easily establish contact with other forms of life. They were burnt badly by the discovery that all other planets and moons in our solar system are much harsher environments than we initially expected and they received a lashing from the media after headlines full of starry eyed promises. It seems to be a similar effect to an AI winter where initial progress and optimism is met with challenges and limitations that turn fickle public opinion against the science, the researchers then internalize these beliefs or they become fringe pariahs. Thankfully some brave souls persevere and eventually prove the field isn't worthless after all.
