If there was even a shred of evidence of life on mars existing at one point and its found during our lifetime, that would be monumental news that shakes our belief system about life to the core. Would love to see it.

I really hope we find something. The irony is none of it really matters unless we can do something good on earth and progress as a people before we destroy ourselves and our planet.
But it's still cool to dream about a major discovery that changes everything we thought we knew.
