      Great song. Look it up – David Bowie. In all seriousness, I reckon there might be something. Not necessarily human like, but maybe bacteria?

      Yes @Hayley I heard there was evidence of bacteria on Mars. Actually, a really interesting thing I read is that the molecules of life are more likely to have arrived on Earth on an asteroid than to have occurred here. They travelled from somewhere in the universe where it’s much more likely for them to be formed.

      I totally wish that there were aliens on Mars:) But so far, there is no evidence to suggest that there is. some bacteria, that’s all.

      There is a cartoon, where aliens are holding a picture of a MARS scene each time the Curiosity Mars rover takes a picture of its surroundings- I find that hilarious!

      This is a good question.

      There certainly isn’t advanced life on Mars alive today. However, Mars had running water on it in the past and it seems very possible that life once did exist on Mars. There may still be some life in the form of microbiotic life — i.e. bacteria, but no one has found it yet.
