Danish scientists aim to better understand whether life can survive on Mars by subjecting terrestrial bugs to conditions present on the Red Planet. They are using a "biochamber" to simulate the temperature, radiation and chemical environment found on Mars.TrackBack URL for this entry:

This is a cool experiment. They should test to see if bacteria can life in the conditions that Venus has to offer, because they can withstand tremendous pressure, temperitures and PH. If anything can survive this condition (the matian condition), it is probably bvecause they have evolved to do so. If Mars was alway the way that it is now, then they wouldn't get chance to evolve to adapt to this too. What about protozoa, fungus, lichens and algea and virus's etc. They are life form. If it is true that there was 2 chemicals fused together from the falling of glycine and the other amino acid on a comet, then the radiation may be powerful enough to make amino-acids form and change to create virus like beings.

The only proble is the amount of gravity also needs to be simulated as well.

I disagree with sabretooth of puting viris on mars because one day we want to live on mars with out viris
