Didn't the first two Viking probes also determine this probability?

NOW, FIFTY ------- YEARS LATER..

NASA has no place in polite society.

They need to get down into the big crack. The Valles Marineris.
Thats where any life that may have survived will be hiding.
We need the DNA. This may help us to prove or disprove panspermia.
Also we need to get under the ice of Titan and Enceladus. I predict if life is truly natural spontaneous and abundant in the universe you will find it there.

Archaea happens. So does hitchhiking advanced space-faring cultures, being the most obvious vectors for imposing new biological materials.

The unique coma of 3IAtlas is reaching stellar proportions.

If artificial it will release drones to explore in more detail.

This is a month of "new" discoveries. How exotic.

Maybe someday NASA, should it persist, will hire an honest biologist to study these "anomalous inconclusive data".
