NASA scientists warned about the misinterpretation of the people. Many scientists emphasized that this discovery does show the past life in Mars, but not current life or not green little men.

“It's hard to see how people will misinterpret it. Nothing is alive now. Nothing is a threat.” said Joy Crisp, deputy project scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena.

Despite of the concerns, the President-Elect Donald J. Trump tweeted, “Life on Mars. Awesome. See what my NASA can do. Can’t wait for Trump Tower Mars. But we’ll keep those aliens out.”, which explicitly expresses and spreads the misunderstanding of the discovery. His tweet connotes that the unidentified life is alive and potential threat to the society.

WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND” (SNASM). This plaque was signed by former president Richard Nixon along with all three astronauts that took part in the lunar landing mission.…

Whereas the heavy majority of big-budget space adventures set in present day or the near future pay little attention to scientific accuracy in the name of entertainment, The Martian is, at its core, about science. It is about the triumph of the scientific method and the value of education. Trapped alone on Mars, astronaut Mark Watney has to conduct what are essentially a series of real-world scientific experiments to survive.…

    As of the 21st century, it is no longer controversial to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life. While in the 16th century, a belief that life existed beyond Earth and its atmosphere may have led to a public execution (like it did for astronomer, Giordano Bruno), the same belief is held by 54% of Americans today. Given the evidence gathered through advanced space exploration and technology, the scientific community, as well as the general population, is more inclined to believe in extraterrestrial life. However, something that is more debatable, is the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.…

    Mars, and even its surrounding asteroids, are brimming with resources from metals – such as gold, silver, and platinum (NASA) – to gases – such as deuterium, a natural gas not abundantly found on earth, which has the capability to produce a copious amount of energy (NASA). These natural resources provide an immediate reason to attempt to make meaningful contact with Mars as they could be used on Earth; they are also an economically viable buffer as we spend time attempting to colonize the planet. Zubrin, believes that Mars is “singular in that is possesses all the raw materials required to support not only life, but a new branch of human civilization”…
