Martian cup-a-soup

This article describes the possibility that all life actually originated on Mars.  The “right” chemical elements of boron, molybdenum, and oxygen were all present at one time on Mars to create possible life.  The article actually states that there might still be life on Mars in the dry environment.  It touches on the idea of Panspermia where life might be capable of surviving space to move between bodies in the universe.  It revolves all around the idea of RNA and the “stop the tar” and the “Lifes’s a cup-a-soup” ideas.

This article really brings the idea of “aliens” as a possibility.  The chemical compounds and elements have originated on Mars could lead us to the thought that there was an initial race before us thousands of years before Earth became available to hold life.  It just makes me wonder what is the history of Mars.  Food for thought.
