Russian (RU) Life on Mars? - With Dr. Michael Tice - YouTube
On Episode 177 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and and Tariq Malik are joined by Dr. Michael Tice to talk about a possible detection of ancient life on Mars.
Tice is a research scientist, a planetary geologist at Texas A&M and is one of the paper's key authors. He has a lot to say about how the research was pulled from the year-old drill sampling, the incredible rigor that was applied to their findings, and what's next in this amazing story. It's the one we've all been waiting for — a possible indication of life beyond our own planet!
