New light on Mars methane mystery The release of methane must be going on now Large quantities of methane gas have been detected on Mars, Nasa scientists have announced in Science journal. The gas could be produced either by geological activity or by life. Methane was detected in the Martian atmosphere five years ago; scientists have found it is more abundant over particular parts of the planet. It should last for only a short time in the atmosphere until it is destroyed by sunlight, and so its continued presence means it is being replenished. This suggests the methane is made by an ongoing process. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7829315.stm |

We will of course have to exterminate it all before we start colonizing Mars, can't be dealing with any nasty alien bugs after all.  |

Giving blankets from smallpox victims to the natives was a tactic emplyed by the very early settlers way bak in thew 16th Cnetuary, as with most things it just continued when the US came along

It is a real concern should we ever colonize Mars, can you imagine? With Martian bacteria, that we have zero immunity to, it could be War of the Worlds in reverse!  |

We're planning on sending suicide bomers and launching rockets at them shortly. |

There are lots of Martian moles living underground eating Martian baked beans!
