Although the search for evidence of life on Mars continues, many science fiction writers have imagined what extraterrestrial life on Mars might be like. Some writers also use the word Martian to describe a human colonist on Mars.
NASA and the European Space Agency are now locked in a race to find definitive proof of life on Mars. Although NASA’s 1996 meteorite findings were controversial and subsequently discounted, it shifted the pessimistic mood of the international scientific community towards optimism. At a European Space Agency conference in 2005, 75 percent of scientists said they believed that life once existed on Mars, while 25 percent said they believe life currently exists there. In the two decades between the Viking probes and NASA’s 1996 findings, such views would have been considered extremely radical.
