Kournaves added, "There's nothing about it that's toxic. If you had it here, you could grow something in it. We found that a broader range of life could grow there. It allows for the possibility for an environment like you would find on Earth, with a lot of different organisms. The amazing thing about Mars is not that it's not an alien world, but it's actually quite familiar." [ComputerWorld]

They are even more anxious to see what it can do in the remainder of its mission on the planet.
No doubt, many more exciting stories will come from this NASA Mars explorer. Please stand by for more.
