Ungefähr zum 34-minütigen Zeitpunkt in diesem Video weist Robert Zubrin von der Mars Society auf neue Beweise der neuesten Marsrover hin, die darauf hindeuten, dass Viking tatsächlich vorhandenes mikrobielles Leben auf dem Mars entdeckt hat:

Er bezieht sich auf ein demnächst erscheinendes Buch des bekannten Astrobiologen Steven Benner, das die Beweise überprüft und zu dieser Schlussfolgerung kommt:

Recent evidence from latest Mars rovers suggest Viking did find life on Mars.

No, Methane isn’t life no matter how you slice it, even if you can somehow prove the detection was real in the first place
Its favourable circumstantial evidence but thats all. It’s even been shown free oxygen can be sustained geologically in the right circumstances.
Holy smokes it is early morning for me pre coffee era..
Vikings landed on Mars?!
What’s truly sad is they aren’t even looking for life in the first place with any of the rovers.. only the chemical building blocks if present. I’m pretty sure they didn’t even sterilize the damn rovers before hand and have been forced to drive away from any source of liquid water on the surface in fear they will contaminate Mars with Earth..
Or that’s the rumor I heard anyway.. I don’t work at NASA SO
How about we just wait until humanity can get its collective shit together and put boots on the ground? Until then it will never be more than speculation and arguments. There are numerous explanations that fit the evidence that has nothing to do with life, and that will hold true until we are there.
I’m still not convinced. The astrobiology community’s consensus is still that the Viking life detection experiments did not detect life.
Because I hadn’t drunk enough coffee, I briefly understood that historical Vikings had found life on Mars. It made sense; they made it to Greenland and America, after all. It took me a couple of seconds to realise that a Langskip has rather limited off-LEO capabilities
Related, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Hills_84001 , which describes a meteorite found in Antarctica that was confirmed to have originated on Mars. There was „microscopic fossils of bacteria in the meteorite, suggesting that these organisms also originated on Mars. „
