From my understanding, it's doubtful Mars ever had a civilization. It's plausible it had life but only just so since it only had its habitable status for just about the amount of time it took life to first appear on Earth.
- no_wizard 2y agoThat would be assuming that it would have followed the same trend as Earth. It’s highly likely you’re right and I acknowledge that, but it’s not an absolutely certainty that it would have taken as much time for life and possibly civilization on other planets as it did here on Earth They could have had a more rapid development cycle for whatever reason. We simply don’t know definitively
- bmitc 2y agoYea, it could have been more rapid or slower. Perhaps if it cooled down faster at the very start? I'm not sure, but I'd wager that the conditions couldn't have been that different. And it took multicellular organisms a few billion years to show up on Earth. We don't know definitively, but it seems highly probable we won't ever find remnants of complex life there.
- no_wizard 2y agoHighly probable isn’t the same as not possible. IMO it’s worth the cost to find out
