Recent scientific experiments have revealed that four common disease-causing microbes can survive and even thrive in conditions simulating the Martian environment. These findings coincide with NASA's Perseverance rover's discovery of what could have been an ancient Martian lake, suggesting potential for past microbial life. Additionally, researchers are investigating ancient mud cracks on Mars to understand the planet's climate history.

Recent experiments exposed four common disease-causing microbes to a simulated Mars-like environment. The bacteria remained alive for various periods of time and, in some cases, even grew in the imitation Martian sands. https://t.co/xEngoa6VWy
