Mars Rover Collects Samples which Indicate Possible Life on Mars Written 28 November 2022

The Washington Post reported that NASA rover Perseverance “has hit what scientists are hoping is pay dirt.” Martian rocks excavated “by the rover show signs of a watery past and are loaded with the kind of organic molecules that are the foundation for life as we know it.” Scientists collaborating on the mission “also say the rock samples, which the rover has cached in tubes for a future return to Earth, have the right chemical recipe to preserve evidence of ancient Martian life, if it ever existed.” The new Perseverance research “is detailed in three extensive studies published Wednesday, one in the journal Science and two in the journal Science Advances.”
