I agree with -Yael Dragwyla; that "we're better than machines at making decisions about whether this area or that," that is why I thing we should put more emphasis on building a spacecraft that can move across the solar system faster than traditional spacecrafts and less expensive also, like the Em Drive (Electromagnetic Drive) for example, I think all the major economical stabled countries of the world should come together and develop on the possibility of a converting electrical current into trust without the use of a propellant all for the Sake of the "Greater Good" rather than trying to out width each other. When we do that then each other may have one piece of the puzzel but we don't share so we don't know. Let's make this of a case which can't bother to fine out rather than we speculate be we want to know but can't because we don't have the technology.

Considering the abundant visible features across Mars obviously created by a heat source, I would venture the answer is yes. If the answer is yes then the transitional areas surrounding this area must hold promise for living organisms.

The correct answer is "maybe." Salacious,

I'm 24 years old and I love Mars planet and it's latest news. Would you always send me these news. Finaly, I love you, because you love Mars planet. ;-). excuse me that I'm very weak in american language. Hi, every one there. I'm 24 years old and I love Mars planet and it's latest news.

If you don't have the instrument or tools how can you come close to a conclusion or even a theory of something as important as a whole eco system living within a volcano on a (dead) planet. But try and try we must that is the nature of human curiosity.

There is no sign, that scientists are able to interpret the measurements as certain _temperatures_. But, may be, the scientists will be more imaginative in the future.

What became of ESAs Mars Express experiment MARSIS? According to the Mars Express website, MARSIS can probe Mars' subsurface to a depth of a few kilometers. Is this instrument nonfunctional or not of the specific type needed to conduct these subsurface measurements( MARSIS employs ground penetrating radar, not infrared capabilities)?

Since is as much about posing useful questions as getting accurate answers to them, perhaps more so. It's one more reason to actually go to Mars and check the place out directly -- we're better than machines at making decisions about whether this area or that, this phenomenon or that is significant and worthy of extensive analysis and testing. And this is one question we really do need to find answers to, because someday we may go beyond the Solar System, and we need to know what to look for out there.

The only way to find out if there is living or dead organisms is to have the next generation of Rovers drill and test in this monster volcano.
