European Scientists Believe in Life on Mars

Science News Article | Reuters.com: "Gerhard Neukum, of the High Resolution Stereo Camera team, showed several pictures of the 'Frozen Sea' near the equator. The area is some 800 by 900 kilometers and the original depth was some 50 meters with ice rafts of up to 30 kilometers in size.

Mars remains a very hostile environment -- a fierce solar wind is blowing away planetary materials and penetrates deep down the dayside atmosphere while during polar night, the atmosphere is minus 130 to minus 143 degrees Celsius. But David Southwood, ESA Director of Science, said Europe should return to Mars and needs to find money for a second mission to probe deeper into its mysteries. "
