As NASA prepares to set twin robots loose on the Martian surface and makes plans to send another in 2007, the agency’s long term goal is clear: determine whether the red planet does or ever did harbor life.
But the current search for life is necessarily limited to life as we know it, organisms dependent on liquid water. A SPACE. corn reader recently suggested that "We as humans are arrogant, simply believing that any other form of life will be just like us. "
Researchers devoted to the search for extraterrestrial (ET) have a similar view. "Scientists’ approach to finding life is very Earth-centric," says Kenneth Nealson, a geobiologist at the University of Southern California. "Based on what we know about life on Earth, we set the limits for where we might look on other planets," Nealson said. Within that framework, however, there are extreme cases of life on Earth that suggest the range of places to look on frigid Mars.A. there might be life on Mars that still remains dormant
B. there might be ET in the universe that is like human beings
C. there might be life that is beyond the range of our current search
D. there might be ET elsewhere in the universe that does not require water
