Well, in the deepest parts of the sea here on earth, weren't there lifeforms based on sulphur (and so), other than well where we're based on?


so these probably work different.

Why HAS it to be green?

green chlorophyll happens to be the most efficient chemical for photosynthesis

How do you know that? Source? :-)

IF evolution 'found' a better way.

Nature is far far far from perfect y'know. And evolution is still going on.

And why should it be green on Mars? Maybe there's happening the same, but less/more efficient.

Thanks in advance :-), Seehund, to express my thoughts

hum, I thought that evidence was proven false...
that earth microorganisms could have penetrated it.
With the ability of microorganisms to survive everywhere, life could be found on the moon either, since we have been there :lol:

(btw, Quixote, do you got something in your eye? -> ;-))?
