Warmer Wetter Mars

This article discusses how mars was at one point much warmer and wetter than it used to be. The research also shows that by looking at the effects of the ionized radiation that is making its way throught the Martian atmosphere that microbial life could survive the radiation and that this means that there is a good chance that if there was life on Mars it would likely just be dorminant and could probably be revived. This is amazing because it shows evidence that life could still exist and that if we can acquire it we can can probably keep it alive in culture and study it on Earth.
