Mars was rekindled when the American spacecraft Galileo transmitted images of Jupiter's moon Europa. In April of 2000 Richard Greenberg of the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, described how ridges created on the moon's surface appear to be eminating from tidal forces beneath the icy surface. These tidal forces "pump... fluid and slush to the surface on a daily basis...[creating] a variety of habitable environments." (Spotts 2) This information roused the scientific community with the possibility of habitation on planets as far away as Jupiter.
             But is this seemingly dry and desolate planet capable of supporting human lifeforms? Dr. Pace of

Dr. Pace states, "If there is life on Mars, this is what you are going to see," (pointing to a meteorite) (Spotts 1) Dr. Pace believes that there may be water beneath the surface of Mars.
