It’s life Jim, but not as we know it!

Scientists at NASA are getting their test tubes in a twist over reports that water may infrequently flow on Mars. Which inevitably leads to the age old question of whether life could exist on the red planet... which in turn leads to a more pertinent question: How long before we wipe it out?
