Does Mars have life?

Since the previous century, scientists have been reporting signs of life on Mars. In 1976, a Viking mission experiment reported signs of metabolism but another detector found no organic molecules. In 1996, the meteorite ALH 84001 was presented with possible signs of ancient Martian life, sparking debates within the scientific community. Recent findings have raised questions about the presence of organic materials on Mars, further fueling the discussion about the potential for life beyond Earth.
