Instead of hoping for weak little Earth-like creatures just barely surviving under some Martian rock...

ljk — 4/21/2006 5:08:00 PM (archived)

How about the chance that some ancient Martian life adapted to its changing environment
and has left descendants existing as a tough colony of buggers living today on the Red Planet
that can survive with little water, little air, seriously cold temperatures, and laugh at direct
ultraviolet radiation?

Has anyone really looked into creatures that could exist like that?
