NASA Scientists Say Soil On Mars Could Support Life

Washington (dbTechno) - According to NASA scientists working with the Phoenix Mars Lander, analysis of a soil sample has revealed that the soil on the red planet could actually support life.

The Phoenix Mars Lander has had a very successful few weeks on Mars, as it has already managed to find evidence of ice on the red planet.

Now, on top of the, the scientists working with the Phoenix Mars Lander have come out and stated that the soil taken in the sample has enough nutrients to support life.

This life, according to Sam Kounaves, investigator working with Phoenix, could be past, present, or future.

The scientists stated that the soil could very easily support plant life, growing thing such as vegetables, and other plants.

The soil was taken from 2.5cm below the surface of Mars.

The scientists were shocked with the findings to say the very least. They are still unsure as to whether or not life ever did exist on Mars, as further analysis is needed.
