   So many of life's mystery, so much of the "Magic" is   
   really just a farce...   
      
   The Trojan War is just a story. It's not history.   
      
   It's filled with magic and Pagan gods. Another clue: It appears   
   to be a retelling of the Egyptian siege of Jaffa. In that story   
   the Egyptians smuggled soldiers through the gates in bags or   
   baskets (I've read it both ways).   
      
   I say that NASA already has proof of life on Mars because   
   their search for life appears to be avoiding any hope of   
   finding life.   
      
   The magnifying lens on the camera can't see the vast majority   
   of life on earth, the resolution isn't high enough, and they   
   intentionally avoided the most promising areas for life   
   claiming fears of leaving contamination i.e. earth life.   
      
   Most life on Earth maxes out at 10 microns in size, for   
   example, while the "Fossil like" structures in the famous   
   Mars Rock topped out at maybe 2 microns, while the Mars   
   lander couldn't even see anything that was 12 microns in   
   size! It lacked the resolution.   
      
   The problem is, "Life on Mars" only gets us halfway there.   
   What we need is life that could not have resulted from earth   
   contamination.   
      
   Short term:  Multicellular/macroscopic life. It's   
   excessively doubtful that there's been anywhere near time   
   enough for contamination to evolve into higher life forms.   
      
   Secondly:  Fossilized life older than earth life.   
      
   There's evidence for bacterial life past 3 billion years on   
   earth, so if they can find something older or just as old   
   but more advanced, it would seem that life formed on Mars   
   independent of Earth...   
      
   Because finding life on Mars is a big deal, but not so big   
   if it was contamination hitching a ride on earth tech. And   
   it's not even a massive deal if it's billions of years old   
   but was carried to Mars from earth on debris ejected into   
   space by super volcanic eruptions or asteroid impacts.   
      
   Life on Mars is only truly HUGE if it's indigenous Mars   
   life. It's a big deal no matter what but it's nowhere   
   near as big a deal.
