NASA scientists have reportedly claimed that re could be life in underground caves on Mars me possible due to some form of water supply on planet. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory research scientist Vla Stamenković explained Martian underground life ory at a recent event.

According to reports, speaking at Mars Extant Life Conference, Stamenković claimed that surface of Mars was very oxidizing, cold and dry.  He ded that a rover that could detect subterranean groundwater and or chemical substance must be sent on Mars that could reveal signs of life to scientists on Earth.

Stamenković emphasized at conference that whatever liquid may be present on surface of Mars may t be stable for an extended period of time. He ded that if it still exists for a longer time, extant life form would be possible to exist on Mars.

NASA aims to gar Martian samples

NASA intends to dispatch WED rover in se underground caves later in year to study surface. 2,260-pound probe aims to gar Martian samples about events of life in caves, extinct, or alive and send it back to Earth. This groundbreaking development comes after scientists discovered breathable molecular oxygen half a billion light-years away. Scientists discovered molecular oxygen near Ursa Major constellation, in a galaxy precisely 560 million light-years away named Markarian 231.
