Ammonia Could Indicate Life On Mars

Posted by michael on from the interplanetary-slime-mold dept.

Young Master writes "Just seen this story on good old Auntie Beeb, apparently traces of ammonia have been found in the Martian atmosphere. Ammonia doesn't last long on Mars, so it must be constantly replenished - it could be active volcanoes (none yet found), or it could indicate life..." Along with the detection of methane, Mars is starting to look a lot less dead than had been supposed.

    No better way to point out that you are a redneck than to say you "just seen" something. Hilarious, in a tragic sort of way.
