What If There Was Life on Mars?

If humanity discovered evidence of alien life on Mars, could we really trust our eyes? From NASA rovers to soviet orbiters, the red planet has seen a number of visitors in the last decades. They could have potentially transported durable microorganisms from Earth to the surface of Mars. This introduces us the field of astrobiology and the search for life outside of Earth. Where is the best place to look for this kind of life, past or present? Most likely, the answer is Mars.

@@valacarno Or they’re just American, and prefer that measurement system? Imperial is pretty easy to learn. 1 in. = 2.54 cm 1 ft = 30.47 cm (12 inches) 1 yd = 0.9144 m (3 feet) 1 mi = 1.60934 km (1760 yds) Most Americans learn both (as I did), so why can’t you?

@@alternate7773 Because one system is clearly superior to other and is adopted by 96% of the planet and by every space agency. Even NASA uses metrics. It's the same reason why we all don't learn swedish.

Very interesting video! I do have a question for you though: Why are degrees here declared in Fahrenheit and not Celsius (and/or Kelvin)? The vast majority of the planet uses the latter. An easy workaround would be to include both when it's necessary to bring up temperature.

[@RealFydem]

Farenheit would make more sense since the freezing to boiling point is point is 100 compared to 180 in Celsius so maybe he didn't want an extra that would be useless for his point (-81) + the majority of things use farenheit and more people would understand how harsh the conditions are in mars.
