I have seen the foolish taking root: Job 5:3 {even on Mars}
"The Perseverance rover landed.
As usual, the search for life is a priority for the mission.
Our prediction that no life will be found on Mars is based on
history, 
probability, the harshness of the Mars environment and the
complexity of a minimal cell.
We can also add another prediction: a null finding will not stop NASA
from looking for life on Mars......NASA knows that the L word life is
a sexy term to maintain public interest in Mars missions.
NASA will
keep at it even if a sample return mission brings back a sterile sample
of Martian soil, because even then they could claim they looked in the
wrong place." CEH
