For centuries people have speculated about the possibility of life on Mars due to the planet's proximity and similarity to Earth but there are not evidences about it at this moment. Serious searches and landed missions during the last 40 years have said always the same: there was not life on mars. While early work focused on phenomenology and bordered on fantasy, modern scientific inquiry has emphasized the search for water, chemical biosignatures in the soil and rocks at the planet's surface, and the search for biomarker gases in the atmosphere. At any rate, it remains an open question whether life currently exists on Mars, or has existed there in the past, and fictional Martians have been a recurring feature of popular entertainment of the 20th and 21st centuries. More and more Life on Mars theories appears on newspapers again and again. Perhaps the best explanation about it is easy: there is a pressure lobby on it.
