Future Fridays: Life on Mars: Past and Future

The search of past life on Mars is one of the key goal of NASA's astrobiology program. The indications from the missions to date are that we will have to drill meters below ground to find any preserved evidence of past life. Mars may have life in the future though. Humans may decide to set up permanent bases on Mars, as it may also be possible to restore the climate of Mars resulting in biology widespread on its surface. In his talk, McKay will explore the challenges and opportunities that impact our journey to Mars.
