Astronomers are now certain that Mars had water - probably a great deal of water - at one time (it still does as ice in it's polar cap), and also had an atmosphere at one time (now, just a very, very thin CO2 atmosphere). The combination of the two, with lightning from atmospheric storms mixed in, are the basic ingredients for the most elemental life forms to begin developing. Bottom line? Mars may have had life at one time.
Regions on Mars that show evidence of past water flow, organic molecules, and potential sources of energy, such as methane, lead scientists to hypothesize that life could have existed on the planet. These conditions resemble those necessary for life on Earth, suggesting that Mars may have once been habitable.
No, not all scientists agree that the meteorite from Mars shows evidence of past life on Mars. There is still ongoing debate and investigation regarding the findings and interpretations of the meteorite known as ALH84001. Some scientists argue that the evidence may be the result of abiotic processes rather than biological activity.
mars. now tell me why they think that?
It is not known who vanished life on Mars. There are however proofs that there was once life on Mars.
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that there are currently any creatures living on Mars. However, some scientists believe that microbial life may have once existed on the planet in the past. Ongoing missions to Mars are actively searching for signs of past or present life.
Since life as we know it requires water, scienctists hypothesize that Mars may have once had the conditions needed for life to exist.

Yes, demonstrably the planet Earth has life. Scientists are currently looking for life on Mars (no proof of life recognized there yet) and are speculation that some extrasolar planets may be in the Goldilocks zone for life.
No, but scientists believe that there could have once been life on Mars.
life to exist there

None that is known. It has been suggested that there may once of been life on Mars, but most scientists think it is unlikely that there is any life there now.
yes I think they will
Once scientists are certain that there is no native life on Mars, then sending microorganisms will probably be the first lifeforms we send there.
We have found minerals and other formations on Mars that show it once had bodies of liquid water. As we currently understand it, liquid water is the most important ingredient for life.
