i think it would be niave to assume that we are alone in the universe, so i think there is a chance that a form of life exists on mars

I don't understand all this excitement over this find (this is referring to the ice-water found by the lander, yes?). According to my astronomy class textbooks, there's plenty of hard evidence for water (river delta's, muddy impacts, eroded craters), and I'm fairly sure they'd assume there would be water locked up in the ice caps. Maybe this means the above mentioned observations aren't as indicative as they seemed.

Anyhow, could any celled organisms exist in an area soaked in UV rays at all?

Everyone is excited because this is finally 100% proof that there IS water on mars, and at least some of the ice at the poles is water ice. The lander has also discovered that the soil there has the necessary chemicals to support life.

"Anyhow, could any celled organisms exist in an area soaked in UV rays at all?"

Many signs (running water, etc) point to the idea that mars had a much more substantial atmosphere earlier in its life (that would block UV rays) that somehow dissipated.

Perhaps, but the impression I got form my class was like fidning a dead man with a bullet in his head and a gun in his hand with a round discharged (which matches the bullet). While we may not have seen the bullet going into his head, we certainly wouldn't entertain any other possible explanation for the bullet's presence (that it was fired into it, pardon the rough analogy).

I was actually referring to any present life on Mars, sorry.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
