it would be a good thing if you can actually live there
-
I don't think it would be, because then earthlings would go and try to take over the martians' home planet and there would be an intergalatic battle where we may lose depending on their technology or the martians may be enslaved! (think of it like the spaniards coming to the americas with the native americans)
-
Depends if the life is hostile or virule... otherwise, sure! It'd debunk alot of religious autrosities!
-
Only if the life forms found were much less intelligent than we are and not at all aggressive.

That is an absolutely great question. All the scientists who desparately seem to be striving to find life on Mars and no one seems to stops to think whether it would be a good thing to find. Finding life on another planet would be awesome, in both senses of the word. I personally don't think that finding it would be a bad thing. But finding life on Mars would be scary: if there's life on the nearest planet, there may be life absolutely everywhere. Including intelligent life (elsewhere). And if there's intelligent life who have got where they are by outcompeting less intelligent species ... will they really be friendly? More than likely they'll destroy us without even meaning to, as we will probably eventually destroy any life on Mars now: note that we have almost certainly carried live earthly bacteria to Mars on spacecraft. (Some was already discovered carried to the Moon on Lunar spacecraft)

Better than finding life on your snickers! ha ha ha ha Im so depressed.

Sure, Then we could officially use the word Martian. Thats cool in itself.
-
I think we'd kill it before we could decide.
-
I wouldn't like it. Sure, I'd be cool to know we're not alone and all, but I don't like the thought of aliens. Hollywood has poisoned me.

Yes. I think the chances of finding intelligent or even sophisticated life there is very unlikey ( we would have seen it by now). However, just the basic life forms would really cause a lot of religions a big problem. It would be as big a blow ot religion as when we first discovered that the earth went round the sun. For future generations - it owuld give much greater hope of being able to live their. Simple life forms can be used as food for bigger life forms and so on until we reach us humans. Of ocurse it could be totally poisonous to almost anything that we have in our food chain... Then finally theeir is the ppssibility of finding the remains of an ancient Mars civilisation that became extinct. It might help make people take global warming seriously at last... (Unlikely to happen).

i think so! we never know as humans how long this planet will be able to substain our form of life (especially at the rate we are going). so, finding another planet where life can survive, that always gives us a "PLANet B". i think we've already established that there is no intelligent life on mars, so we don't have to worry about hostile beings with laser guns and what not...
-
yes it would. so much would change.
-
I think it would be a little scary. If life on Mars can stay hidden on Mars for this long, what about other planets? Not to mention the possibilities of space are limitless as is, if Mars had life, things would be even more limitless, if that makes sence/is possible.
