Experiments now under development could finally answer one of the most profound questions in science: Does life exist outside of Earth?
Astronomers have learned a great many things about Mars since the first probes landed there nearly four decades ago.
We know that liquid water once flowed across its surface and
that Mars and Earth were similar in their early history. When life on
