The public DECIDES NOTHING.Most of the general public is abysmally scientifically illiterate and anti science. The Daily Mail is NOT a scientifically reliable source. it's the equivalent of the notional enquirer in the united States. The general public does NOT understand the scientific method or HOW the scientific method is supposed to work and DOES work WORLD WIDE.. The public DECIDES NOTHING about life on Mars.

IronicallyStupid say: It is hiding. Please don't quote the dailymail, it really is an appalling publication, read that it will turn you into a manic depressive who hates tattoos and immigrants. Try the Guardian instead.

Donut Tim say: Life was found to have been present on Mars at one time.
Allan Hills 84001 (commonly abbreviated ALH 84001) is a meteorite that was found in Allan Hills, Antarctica on December 27, 1984 by a team of U.S. meteorite hunters from the ANSMET project.
Scientists announced that it contained evidence for microscopic fossils of Martian bacteria. On August 7, 1996, U.S. President Bill Clinton made a formal televised announcement to mark the event.
Due to public outcry from religious sectors, the ANSMET scientists retracted their announcement.
In November 2009, a team of scientists at Johnson Space Center reasserted that there is strong evidence that life may have existed on ancient Mars, after having reexamined the meteorite using more advanced analytical instruments now available, in light of the objections that had been made since the biogenic hypothesis for the biomorphs first had been put forward.
Overall, the team concluded that: “None of the original features supporting our hypothesis for ALH84001 has either been discredited or has been positively ascribed to non-biologic explanations.”
