UH scientists say life likely lurks on Mars.
"Scientists involved with Mars Odyssey experiments say they would be surprised if no form of life is found on the planet, especially since their instruments reveal vast regions of subsurface ice.
"Very primitive, very simple, but life," said Igor Mitrofanov, who leads the High Energy Neutron Detector developed for the Mars Odyssey by the Russian Aviation and Space Agency.
"It would be different from what the public perceives,' said Peter Englert, a New Zealand nuclear chemist who is now University of Hawaii-Manoa chancellor."
