Is there actually life on Mars? There may be, but it is none like ours. There is no life on Mars.This is due to the fact that there is no methane on mars, and that landers on mars have never detected any life on the surface.
Speculation of aliens start all the way back at 1500 BC when Pharaoh Thutmose III saw “silent, foul smelling circle of fires and flying discs in the sky”(UFOs Through the Ages). There were many throughout the years. One, for example, happened in 170 BC. Conrad Wolfhart reports “At Lanupium, a remarkable spectacle of a fleet of ships was seen in the air.” (UFOs Through the Ages). Another more recent example is in 1952, when “Hundreds of residents of Veronica, Argentina witnessed six discs circling above the town, the disappearing into the night sky.”(UFOs Through the Ages). Aliens have always had speculation throughout history.
The lack of methane rules out any life on Mars. Curiosity,a probe on Mars, searched for methane between October 2012 to June 2013. “In a surprising and probably killer blow to the possibility of finding microbial life on Mars, Curiosity has reported that there’s no methane in the Martian atmosphere”(Anthony). Methane is a gas that is produced by living organisms. Without it, there is no possibility of life on Mars that is like that of Earth’s. Methane is also a gas that is relatively stable. “There’s no way, as far as we know, in which methane could’ve quickly escaped the Martian atmosphere”(Anthony). If methane were there, it could not have escaped the atmosphere of Mars, leading to a conclusion that there wasn’t any methane.
Another reason for the lack of life on Mars is that landers sent to Mars were unable to detect any life. “In 1976, NASA's Viking 1 and 2 landers touched down o...

...s, knowing these facts? Life on Mars is nonexistent because of the lack of methane and the inability to find any organisms on the surface. Although there is water on Mars, it does not guarantee life. The increased carbon dioxide production from a Martian material does not have to be caused by microorganisms in the soil.

Many steps are still need in order for the Mars exploration to be a success. “NASA officials have said they hope to eventually set up a small outpost on the Red Planet, where astronauts would search for signs of Mars life and perform other research” (Wall Space.com).

little persistence and desire for life alterations. Defining alcoholism as a disease makes it appear as though no one is at fault for their actions, since when did people stop holding themselves accountable for their own actions and behavior? Alcoholism would be more suitably defined as an addiction as opposed to claiming it as a disease because it exists due to one’s actions. A disease should be considered as an uncontrollable illness that can negatively impact one’s life for a consistent amount of time

The question of whether there is other intelligent life form beside humanity has been in great academic discourse for much of the last century. Many conspiracies about intelligent life forms have emerged and inspired many great works of art in various genres. Although definitive proof of their existence has yet to be found, the search for intelligent extraterrestrials have lead innovations to new heights in space explorations.

What person in their right mind would believe this? The mere idea of ‘privacy’ is nonexistent in 1984 because ‘Big Brother is Watching You’ (Orwell 2). This idea that Orwell presented has become a reality today. The use and advances of technology has deprived us of our privacy even within our own home. A great example of a present day dystopian

They are working at extremely low wages, trying to live a better life than they had in their indigenous land.

Because of these conditions, we will make a proposal to end this situation and give these communalized aliens the

people believe. In the beginning of Achilles’ life, the Greek goddess, Themis, prophesized that he would either die young and famous in battle or live a long nonexistent life without battle. His mother, Thetis, took this as a death omen and placed Achilles in the magical waters of the Styx River. She did this to help him be immortal but did not account for the area that she held, his ankle, to be left vulnerable (Claybourne). This beginning to his life leads him to believe that he was better than
