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.

    was it important to find the Americas? I believe it was! How much more important it is to have a diaspora into space. There is little doubt, if enacted. it will cost the lives of millions but it must be done

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