However water on mars is itself an indicator of possible life on mars.

Which is fun.

I don't understand why people think that water is an indicator of life. It is a necessity for terrestrial life, but why does everyone assume that other forms of life in the universe would resemble us? Why do we assume that they would need water, oxygen, and carbon?
