"I want to be like water. To slip through fingers, but hold up mighty ships."
(Michelle Williams)
Nasa finally concluded that there is liquid water on Mars. It may be extremely briny or filled with chemicals that aren't very friendly to life as we know it - but it's water.. flowing, liquid water. And if there's one thing we should know about life if you've seen any of the Jurassic Park movies, it's that life will find a way!
There's practically not a square millimeter on the Earth that's not crawling with some kind of life. There are microbes that live in boiling hot geyser pools and on the underside of the Antarctic ice. There are fish and mussels living at the edges of underwater ponds of methane and around thermal vents at the deepest darkest parts of the oceans where the pressure would crush a human like a beer can at a beach party..
If life evolved on Mars, then it will surely have evolved to continue to survive if there is water. The Lorax and Star-Bellied Sneeches may not have made it, but for me, there is little doubt that bacteria and microbes will have found a way..
There might even be a whole village of Who's there, yelling their heads off as the Mars Explorer lumbers by their little red pebble..
