Mars is suitable for life

A comprehensive survey of the Australian National University shows that the space suitable for life on Mars is even greater than Earth.

>>>Is there life on Mars?

The living spaces mentioned here are caves that lie beneath the surface of the planet, and life is the bacteria, not the aliens that we often see on film.

Earth and Mars.

According to calculations, 3% of Mars' space is suitable for life. This data is calculated based on the entire planet from surface to center. If calculated on Earth with a similar calculation, then the space adapted for life on our planet is only 1%.

'There are large areas of Mars compatible with terrestrial life,' Charley Lineweaver , lead researcher, told AFP . 'If you are interested in the origin of life and how it is possible to start life on another planet, this is what is involved'.

The surface of Mars is too cold and the pressure is too low for water to exist in liquid form, the leading condition for life. But according to Lineweaver, synthesizing geological data collected for decades, the surface of the planet is warm and pressurized by life because Mars's core will provide heat and rocky soil. The above will create the right pressure.

So to know if it is actually below the surface of Mars that is a large area of ​​bacteria or something larger, it has to wait 8 months after NASA's Curiosity probe to Mars. The probe was equipped with a laser launcher that broke the rock and a robotic arm to test the result.
