Lame title. Life wasn’t found on mars they just cultured a microbe on soil from mars.
- stevenjgarner 11mo agoIMHO I feel the title is appropriate. They are not claiming to have found life on Mars, they are making the very pivotal claim that there are forms of life that can turn liabilities on Mars into assets.
- stavros 11mo agoAgreed, the clear was very clear for me too. I wonder what the microbe eats, and if we can supply that in enough volumes to make a dent to Mars' atmosphere.
- nephihaha 11mo agoTrue, it is deliberately misleading. However, some possible indicators of life have been found on Mars although these are contested. Two thar I can think of are methane emissions on the planets, and the soil tests by the Viking landers in the seventies, which returned ambiguous results.
- bilekas 11mo ago> True, it is deliberately misleading. It's not misleading, this article has nothing to do with finding life on Mars. > If humans ever build bases on Mars, they will need systems that can provide oxygen without constant resupply from Earth Have you READ the article ? Or just misinterpreted the title and then commented ?
- canadiantim 11mo agoIt is misleading. The title suggests they found a microbe on mars: "Researchers Find Microbe... from Martian Soil". They did not.
- nephihaha 11mo agoPunctuation is everything.
- nephihaha 11mo agoI read it first. That second comment about bases is not mine.
- bilekas 11mo agoThe title nor the article ever said that life was found on Mars ?
- Gravityloss 11mo agoscientist discover microbe [...] from martian soil [...] microbe produces oxygen from martian soil I guess you read it the former way while most people read it the latter way. Neither is wrong or right. Slightly garden-pathy title.
