Was there life on Mars, and does it matter?

Was there life on Mars, and does it matter?

A Nasa rover trawling Mars has sent back evidence that suggests the planet was once much warmer and wetter, and may even have supported life.

The findings are described as astonishing, but what do you think about our continued space exploration? When millions live in poverty, should we spend vast sums on space exploration? Do you think, given climate change, that the only way to secure mankind's future is to learn about other planets and conquer space travel? And is there really life out there or is Earth the universe's lucky fluke? Have your say.

    Totally depends on your theory of how the earth revolves
    Imo life as we know it won`t end... as we did the last time we`ll just build a huge space station and live in the outer atmosphere while the earth goes thru countless earth quakes volcanic eruptions gale force winds tornado`s etc and changes it`s course away from the sun and back into the ice age
    Without space travel man is doomed to carry on to make another world of possibilities
    NASA has proven my theory by sending animals into space to check their survivabilty... one day Noah`s Ark will be recreated in outer space

    I believe...
    Conquering space is vital to our future survival
