Does anyone believe its possible that a race of "people" lived on mars?

Their was a report last week from one of Nasa's leading scientists that a greek temple was recently spotted on the planet so there would seem to be some truth to this

initially the land formation did resemble a face but later pictures taken with better resolution proved that it was just an optical illusion from poorer quality pictures-although i'm guessing your not asking weither there is a real face on mars! :)

that is funny.  someone saying "Why would you believe a race of aliens without question?? Just because they have traveled through space doesn't make them trustworthy."  why would you believe a book just because it was written along time ago?

Yes.\nNext major race after humans disappear

The only clues to life on Mars are that it once had water, and there may be water beneath the surface in which some kind of primitive life might have survived from Mars watery period.  \n\nSome water ice also forms at the poles, and may harbor some primitive lifeforms that respond to the seasons.  But no probe has been there to do the study.\n\nThere is still a lot of debate regarding the Mars meteorites and whether they actually contain microbes.  Firstly, they may not be fossilised microbes at all, and secondly you have to show clearly that the meteorites have not been infected by Earth microbes. \n\nSo, nobody to date can say with any certaintly that life exists anywhere else but on Earth.\n\nFood for thought.

they probably wouldn't look like us. It's very unlikely another planet would have developed just like earth, and its possible that other life could be silicon or nitrogen based instead of carbon based like us. The most likely scenario is that aliens look different because their world evolved differently. So to answer your question, no probable not.

Mars being very hot now is not a suitable condition for humans and plants, as we know it, to live.\nBut now that Water in the form of Ice has been confirmed, it is a possibility for us to live there, provided that the ice has to be vapourised to create water clouds, and subseqently the clouds should give out rain, and when this chain starts, the creation of oxygen could be obtained by growing plants which emit oxygen. \nWHEW. That my friend is a hectic task ahead (and probably not feasible also). So may be, just may be, that some where about at 200 years down it could be a dream come true.\n\nBesides, we would only be intruding the rules of the Nature by doing so.

they found a kind of bacteria on mars, so technically, yes. no. absolutely not.  Only in the minds of people who have been deceived by the evil one to believe in alien beings who are always more intelligent then us.  We are the crown of God's creation, created in His own image.  we are intelligent beings to whom the secrets of creation has been entrusted.  The only other beings besides God 3 in 1 that I know of, are angels and demons [fallen angels] beware, lest you be deceived by fallen angels into believing that they are some super intelligent beings from outer space.

Statistically, it is very hard to believe that we (Earthliens) are along in the universe, there must be something else out there.\nAt the same time, the odds that life would develop independently on both Earth and Mars in the same solar system is pretty slim (unless life is actually not nearly as rare as we might think).\n\nThere is of course a chance that life may have developed on Mars in the past when the conditions were more suitable, but so far, we havent found anything.  Although there is the possibility, I am leaning towards no.\n\nBut think what that would mean if we discovered life outside of Earth (especially on Mars), it would be the most important discovery...ever.  If life can develop independently on two planets in the same solar system, either we are very lucky, or it the whole universe must be crawling with life (or you could throw the God factor in if you wish).

The strong faith and believe of the people who used to live in that region. Historians say egyptiens, but believe me, egyptiens these days are not the same as the old egyptiens!!!!....\nSo i doubt its from the same transendence, the same blood...you know what i mean!\nProof of sarcofagus of the workers...\n\nMy other theory is Aliens, xtraterrestrial cosmic power who helped the people to build! \nProof of maya pyramid...(another mystery)\n\nits frustrating to go inside it though! Clostrophobic dark and tiny walking spaces!!!!

In theory it is absolutely possible. In reality, we haven't advanced science to the point where we can inhabit other planets. Currently there are plans to build an elevator that will allow people to enter space without spending months and months training their bodies to withstand the G's when exiting the atmosphere.\n\nThe current step to living on other planets is building a space station large enough to house multiple families, a small city or even refuel a ship. Currently right now travelling to Mars would take years and years. We would need a higher powered engine that uses less fuel and provides more thrust.

There is no evidence to show conclusively that life ever existed on Mars, and the lack of evidence strongly suggests there never was life there.  If even bacteria lived there some trace would show up in the fossil record, and so far the probes have found no evidence of this.\n\nIt doesn't mean that there isn't life somewhere on the planet, or that life existed there once upon a time, but it's highly likely that there never all that much life on the planet.  Life tends to spread -- for example, no matter where we look on the Earth, we find some evidence of life, even if only bacteria, even in the frozen arctic or the middle of the sahara desert.\n\nAt the present time humans cannot live on Mars without an artificial environment.  The air pressure is far too low and the atmosphere has far too little oxygen.  The temperature extremes are far worse than even in the Antarctic.  \n\nWhile it is possible to build a "Marsbase" of some kind the difficulty lies in getting all that material over to Mars from Earth and then down from Mars orbit.  It's one thing to drop a probe through the atmosphere and bounce it hopefully somewhere within a 100-mile radius of its intended landing site; it's quite another to have a steady drop of material that all has to land in the same place.\n\nNaturally the builders could make use of local materials.  The main problem is the lack of water, which only seems to exist on the surface at the poles.  Therefore the base would probably have to be located at or near the polar areas of Mars, so that ice could be harvested and used to produce oxygen.

Well Scientists have long speculated about the possibility of life on Mars due to that planet's proximity and similarity to Earth. It remains an open question whether life exists on Mars now, or existed there in the past.\nIt has long been speculated that there may be life on Mars, due to the many similarities the planet has with Earth. Mars' polar ice-caps were observed as early as the mid-17th century, and they were first proven to grow and shrink alternately, in the summer and winter of each hemisphere, by William Herschel in the latter part of the 18th century. By the mid-19th century, astronomers knew that Mars had certain other similarities to Earth, for example that the length of a day on Mars was almost the same as a day on Earth. They also knew that its axial tilt was similar to Earth's, which meant it experienced seasons just as Earth does - but of nearly double the length owing to its much longer year. These observations led to the increase in speculation that the darker albedo features were water, and brighter ones were land. It was therefore natural to suppose that Mars may be inhabited by some form of life.\n\nSpeculation about life on Mars exploded in the late 19th century, following telescopic observation of apparent canals — which were later found to be optical illusions. In 1854 William Whewell, a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, who popularized the word scientist, theorized that Mars had seas, land and possibly life forms. In 1895, American astronomer Percival Lowell published his book Mars, followed by Mars and its Canals in 1906, proposing that the canals were the work of a long-gone civilization. This idea led British writer H. G. Wells to write The War of the Worlds in 1897, telling of an invasion by aliens from Mars who were fleeing the planet’s desiccation.\n\nBetter telescope imagery, and especially the photos taken by the Mariner 4 probe in 1965 showed an arid Mars without rivers, oceans or any signs of life. Intense UV radiation made the planet extremely hostile to life as we know it. Officially the Viking lander's tests for microbes in 1976 were inconclusive, but most scientists hold that their findings can be explained on the basis of chemical reactions alone. Observations made in the late 1990's by the Mars Global Surveyor confirmed the suspicion that Mars, unlike Earth, no longer possessed a substantial global magnetic field, thus allowing potentially life-threatening cosmic radiation to reach the planet's surface. Scientists also speculate that the lack of shielding due to Mars' diminished global magnetic field helped the solar wind blow away much of Mars' atmosphere over the course of several billion years.\n\n\n\n \nThe electron microscope revealed bacteria-like structures in meteorite fragment ALH84001 \nA series of artist's conceptions of hypothetical past water coverage on Mars.In recent years speculation has grown again, however – prodded by a study of the ALH84001 meteorite which concluded that it contained fossilized microbes. Other scientists have subsequently sought to explain these findings on the basis of chemical processes. Both remain highly controversial within the scientific community.\n\nAnother glimmer of hope for past and present life on Mars has been revealed with the ongoing research into extremophiles on Earth which survive under the harshest conditions. Some scientists have proposed a biological origin for the annual appearance and disappearance of dark dune spots near the polar regions of Mars.\n\n\n\nNo Mars probe since Viking has tested the Martian soil directly for signs of life. NASA's recent missions have focused on another question: whether Mars held lakes or oceans of liquid water on its surface in the ancient past. Many scientists have long held this to be almost self-evident based on various geological landforms on the planet, but others have proposed different explanations - wind erosion, carbon dioxide oceans,

I'm absolutely confident there is life out there.  But I hope they have better things to do than draw designs in crops and play peek-a-boo with airline pilots and nerds.\n\nAnd we only look like we do because of the way life developed on Earth.  There is no reason to believe that aliens would look anything at all like us.  Unless of course we came from the same place at some time thousands of years ago and we adapted to Earths enviroment, then of course we could be somewhat similar.

Anything's possible. It has been theorized that humans were the slaves of an alien race and left to populate the earth. Plenty use Egyptian mythology to base their answer, and actually do so quite effectively. So sure, why not?

yes, they -or it- exists as u can see nasa found germs,bacteria,exstinct polar ice caps, and even a fossil of a "human" type face on mars! so yes the exist!

Yes, at least for now, living on Mars is a dream. \n\nI sure there would be many reasons for living on Mars. To get away from it all. To answer questions which would not be possible to answer on earth. I would expect the reason would be the same as the reason for asking questions, to get answers.\n\nNo, living on Mars is not running away from Judgement day, but it would be a good investment as humans if we were concerned that some planet wide disaster might strike the Earth
