They detected organic molecules on Mars decades ago, and we are now seeing proof that those who refused to accept the evidence were wrong. I wish I recalled the name of the scientist that designed the test done in the late 80s. He was far more polite and gracious than he should have been. He detected signs that were EXACTLY what they went in looking for in the first place, no one else even proposed an alternative explanation, they just decided to ignore it with pigheaded stubbornness. I hope news agencies dig up the man (I believe he is still alive, he is mentioned in the fairly recent book '13 Things That Don't Make Sense') and they have some of his contemporaries apologizing for going with their hearts instead of their brains.
