NASA Confirms Organic Molecules On Mars — Will Life Evidence Be Next?

“Finding ancient organic molecules in the top 5 centimeters of rock  — that was deposited when Mars may have been habitable — bodes well for us to learn the story of organic molecules on Mars with future missions that will drill deeper.” - Jen Eigenbrode, Ph.D., Mars Research Scientist, Goddard Space Flight Center, MD.

“Are there signs of life on Mars? We don't know, but these results tell us we are on the right track.”
