Dunno if anyone has been keeping up to date with the latest on the Mars situation, but it has been proven that there are huge ice deposits and some forms of water (brine is suspected) still running freely on the surface of the Red Planet.
Water of some kind is believed to be key to any sort of known lifeform, and since it is present on Mars, there is a possibility, maybe 100 to one rather than billions to one, that life exists/existed on Mars.
And what does it imply for the vast universe around us if Mars contains life? If two planets in the same solar system are capable of supporting life of some kind, surely planets in other solar systems must be capable of supporting life also?
A probe of sorts will land on Mars around about Christmas and try to bring back soil samples from sites which could harbour life of some sort. If anything comes back from that mission, even as small as some bacteria, or (optimistically) something composed of more than a single cell, it will be revolutionary.
Another launch is planned for 2009, which is quite some way off, and should manage better technology and be able to tell us even more.
To think that by 2010 we could have proof of life on another world. Obviously we may also know nothing by then, but there is a chance, however small, that we are not alone. Not even in our own solar system...

Ice?
We're spending billions to look at ice?
Sheeeyit, come round my house and I'll show you ice for £10, I'll even make alien noises and flash a torch on and off.
