No because if this was true, then we would see carbon based life do the exact same process in reverse. However, there is a limit to adaptability, particularly through the dumb and highly stochastic process of natural selection. We have no evidence of a void ecology in near earth orbit or of life persisting close to the Moho barrier - where the crust meets the mantle. There are hard limitations to the encroachment of life that only technology or radically different chemistry can circumvent. The same hard barriers might also mean that life on Mars is largely constrained to those few underground liquid water lakes that we have recently found evidence for. Keep in mind that even the most barren deserts on Earth have several orders of magnitude more water present in the air than on Mars.
