Possibility of microbial life on Mars a long time ago

[Brotherman]

I know this does not prove anything. But i thought it is kinda cool, so i want to share.

During the Noachian, Mars’ crust may have provided a favourable environment for microbial life1,2. The porous brine-saturated regolith3,4,5 would have created a physical space sheltered from ultraviolet and cosmic radiation and provided a solvent, whereas the below-ground temperature2 and diffusion6,7 of a dense, reduced atmosphere8,9 may have supported simple microbial organisms that consumed H2 and CO2 as energy and carbon sources and produced methane as a waste. On Earth, hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was among the earliest metabolisms10,11, but its viability on early Mars has never been quantitatively evaluated. Here we present a probabilistic assessment of Mars’ Noachian habitability to H2-based methanogens and quantify their biological feedback on Mars’ atmosphere and climate. We find that subsurface habitability was very likely, and limited mainly by the extent of surface ice coverage. Biomass productivity could have been as high as in the early Earth’s ocean. However, the predicted atmospheric composition shift caused by methanogenesis would have triggered a global cooling event, ending potential early warm conditions, compromising surface habitability and forcing the biosphere deep into the Martian crust. Spatial projections of our predictions point to lowland sites at low-to-medium latitudes as good candidates to uncover traces of this early life at or near the surface.

Oh, the link is practically pointless. It is all there in the quote already. To read the article, you have to pay, and it is big money. I research with google later and post here if i find free stuff.

I think that maybe life on Mars used to be a thing. When allegedly dinosaurs were killed off by a comet fragments of Earth could have made it to the red planet but couldn't adapt fast enough to its environement to survive, and then boom fucking biker mice from mars came onto the airwaves in the 90s.
