In the ongoing search for life on mars, we are seeing increasing evidence of past life on mars. We know, for example, that Mars once had oceans -- vast masses of liquid water -- and that Mars is close enough to the Sun to put it within the reach of sufficient solar radiation to support not just simple life forms, but ultimately complex life forms. So it has water, it has sunlight and it has an atmosphere even today (although that atmosphere is certainly not of the density of Earth's atmosphere). There's little doubt in my mind that we will find evidence of past life on mars.

REPPED: Some interesting new warnings are surfacing about the possibility of life on Earth contaminating the study of life on mars and, simultaneously, the possibility that life on mars could contaminate life on Earth when probes someday bring samples of material back from Mars. When we talk about life here we're referring to microbial life, not large organisms like animals or flying creatures. Is this threat of cross-contamination of microbial life a legitimate one? Are these scientists right to be concerned about it?

I believe that there is microbial life on mars right now. There's no question in my mind that there is intelligent life in the universe far beyond what we know about today. I believe in the Drake equation. When you calculate the Drake equation, the result says there should be billions of planets harboring intelligent life in our galaxy alone, not to mention other galaxies. I also believe that NASA is hiding a lot of information, especially about Mars. I believe there is water on Mars and there is microbial life to be found in that water, even if it's largely frozen.

There's little doubt in my mind that we will find evidence of past life on mars. In fact, I'm even optimistic about the possibility of finding living microbes on Mars today. We've seen extremophiles on planet Earth: microbes that can survive and thrive in extreme environments such as boiling water and the frozen tundra. So we know that microbes are capable of thriving under environmental conditions that we once thought could never support life.

By the 1950s the idea of life on the sun had been dropped, of course, but it was felt that we would surely find life on mars and Venus, and perhaps on some of the larger moons as well. As the exploration of the solar system unfolded over the last quarter century, however, these hopes were dashed. Venus turned out to be a torrid hell, Mars a cold, waterless desert. Despite the optimism of the 1950s, there is today no evidence for life anywhere in the solar system, although there may once have been primitive life on mars.

If you aren't convinced that there's life on mars, how about the moon? Yes, someone is actually promoting the idea that on the moon there are ancient monuments, perhaps a billion years old—crystal towers and such. I guess Mars was getting boring.

Despite the optimism of the 1950s, there is today no evidence for life anywhere in the solar system, although there may once have been primitive life on mars. Furthermore, as we have come to understand the dynamics of systems such as planetary atmospheres, we have come to realize that planets like Earth ?planets that have liquid water on their surface for the billions of years it takes advanced life forms to develop ?are probably quite rare. The key concept here is the "continuously habitable zone" (CHZ), a band around a star in which a planet like the earth can exist.
