After a year roaming the surface of Mars, Nasa has failed to find any evidence that its atmosphere is supporting life, it was revealed today.
The Curiosity rover currently scanning the Red Planet has not detected any methane, a gas that is produced by living things.
Since landing in Gale Crater last year, every morning and evening the car-size probe has analysed Mars' air and scanned it with a tiny laser in search of the greenhouse gas.

what's interesting is that today's mars is the exact same as earths early atmosphere

Well there's no life similar to earth life there, unless the probe itself has brought some extremophiles with it.

I'm crap at science, so bear with me, but how do we know that potential aliens produce methane?

While it's a bit disappointing there is no life on Mars, I'd be lying if I said I was surprised. I didn't really expect to find any life on the red planet. I do believe that there could be life elsewhere in our universe, maybe even in our galaxy.

I am pretty sure that was obvious since before, maybe once, but obviously not anymore.

Too bad. I thought for sure Mars was my home planet.

We are assuming alien life on Mars is like life on Earth, and a lot of bacteria produce methane as a waste substance.

Pretty much those. I half expected them to not find any life there ESPECIALLY since we've always been taught that Earth is in the perfect position for life, since its far enough to not burn, and close enough to not freeze.
