Has life on Mars been discovered 
By: Diane Sori


I have always said that we are NOT alone in the vastness of the universe...well guess what...the days of humans...of man...thinking we are all there is might just be over.

NASA's Mars Curiosity rover has again been scouring the Red Planet for traces of life, and this time it’s captured a rodent-shaped ‘creature’ among dusty orange rocks.

These recently released photos were taken at the sandy ‘Rocknest’ site on the surface of Aeolis Palus, between Peace Vallis and Aeolis Mons. Here NASA was collecting sand samples to test for basaltic materials.

Some say the shape in the image could just be a rock, but NASA officially revealed that the Curiosity rover had indeed found evidence that suggested ancient Mars could have and still might support living microbes.

Well, if this image is truly what it appears to be (and I say 'if') then microbiotic life is NOT the only life on Mars...and that would be MAJOR.

Mars Science Laboratory project scientist John Grotzinger from the California Institute of Technology explained: "We have characterized a very ancient, but strangely new 'gray Mars', where conditions once were favorable for life...and still might be."

"Curiosity is on a mission of discovery and exploration, and as a team we feel there are many more exciting discoveries ahead of us in the months and years to come."

YES there are, and who knows what awaits us as we explore the unknown, and I am beyond proud that someone in my

family will be part of that exploration
