There is New Evidence for Life on Mars with Kevin Hand

NASA's Perseverance Rover Discovers Potential Ancient Life Evidence on Mars
On July 21, the Perseverance rover collected its 22nd rock core sample. The team is now analyzing the data to explore various explanations for the rock's unique features. Could this be evidence of ancient Martian life?

I know a lot of us sleep to his wonderful voice and his guest's. Who else besides me goes back and re lessons the video's in the daytime?!?!?!?!

[pazitor]

Impeccable timing as always for bedtime in Western Europe. So grateful.

[ashleydavis]

Congratulations to Nasa and Perseverance teams, this is exceptional science that occurs barely once a decade/century - you folks rock!

[ScoriacTears]

40:46 Yes, thank you for coming on Event Horizon and talking to John Michael Godier Mr Hand, very interesting information you are appreciated.

It’s only a matter of time before mankind find solid evidence that mars once supported life

I love the thought of aliens spying on Mars and watching the rovers. These things are so damaged and falling apart, and they're so slow, and they keep overcoming impossible problems with crazy creative jiggling and misusing systems and just making do. Like, "These little iron and silicon organisms are fragile, always on the verge of permanent failure, yet obsessed with observation and sample gathering, relentless, and incomprehensively intelligent and creative. 😮"

Am i alone in the realization that this moment might just be one of THE most historic moments of human civilization, as we might - only might - have just made our first naive "contact" with alien life?

It feels so strange and beautiful to witness this.

[RedSiegfried]

And if they do confirm microbial life on Mars, they'll spend the next 100 years debating on whether it's from Earth.

[FesteringGhoul]

I was JUST watching Cameron's Challenger Deep for the 2nd time (so inspirational) right around the time you uploaded this! Thanks, John!

Clearly, the Ingenuity, Perseverance, and Curiosity lies squarely with the incredible JPL team who actually built them. Then repairs them in the field from millions of miles. And, with Voyager 1, Billions of miles away.

It’s not evidence of life. We’ve been through this before, decades ago. It’s something that “could” be an indication of life. It could also be a result of inorganic chemical reactions, as every test so far, from older probes to Mars, has ended up being, despite initial excitement. I would love it if it did turn up to be a definitive piece of evidence of life. But getting too excited by this now, is premature.

[itheuserfirst]

If it turns out that it has, or had microscopic life, then it's probably exists in a lot of other places

[michaelcox]

I've made hundreds of dives to the bottom of the ocean. Just the shallower spots...

[TheMartianu]

I believe if NASA hadn’t dug itself in this hole for so many decades, they would’ve acknowledged at least that there is signs of life from the past on mars long ago. There’s always updates like “potential microbial or evidence of salt water” hinting but never just outright admitting that they’ve came to this reality about mars years ago privately

[Kendro]

Finding remnants or possibly active life on another planet in our solar system would open up a wealth of explanations, knowledge or substantial clues to so many questions.

[senecaflint]

I appreciate how optimistic Kevin is that we’ll be able to complete a mars sample return mission soon. Unfortunately, it’s increasingly looking like we’re probably decades away from seeing a pristine mars sample on earth

[muffelfluffel]

that was super interesting, thanks for this podcast!

[DiscipleJohn]

The keyword is perhaps perhaps this is sedimentary rock it's from volcanic activity

[hrdowns]

Absolutely gripping talk. I can hardly believe humanity is actually doing this. 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏼👏🏽

[JohnnyWednesday]

I'm still holding out that our first evidence will be an alien mooning the rover camera
