     Since the boom in space technology about 30 years ago, man has found the
method for expanding his existence beyond the many once thought "unbreakable
barriers."  Together with this development in space technology came a large
quantity of information and discoveries of the compounds of the universe, and
scientific questions seemed to jump out in equal number.  The question that
captures the eye of the media today causing a bitter controversy is probably the
most easy to understand, considering the complex astronomy jargon.  Is life
possible on Mars?  The fact is we still don't know.  "Some of the early
arguments we now know to be almost certainly erroneous, but even the most recent
pieces of evidence do not unambiguously demonstrate the existence of life on
Mars."  ( Sagan and Shklovskii 273)
     Some scientist believe man should look up in the sky searching for new
habitats for future generations, since human kind today seems to be going
backwards in many aspects of the earth's ecology.  The first attempt would be to
study the moon; the second, our neighbor planet.  Unfortunately, our actual
technology slightly provides strong, useful information about the red planet
because of the vast distance between us.
     While people such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas try to convince
us with hundred million dollar movies that we are not alone, engineers and
geologists like from the NASA-Stanford University team pursue, based on true
evidence, the idea of possible life on Mars.  However, the burden of proof is
sometimes too heavy even based on real evidence.  The tough debate started on
August 1996, when scientists from the NASA-SU team announced that a meteorite
found on the Antartica contained evidence of past life on the red planet.  They
supported their conclusion on the basis of organic molecules, carbonates, and
minerals found inside the rock, which are basic components of living things.
This announcement astonished the world, but not the critics who skeptically
stated opposite explanations for each o...
