For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
I'm sorry, booger. I'm just yanking your chain. I don't dismiss the possibility of current simple life on Mars, just the likelyhood. And the evidence strongly suggests that any water on Mars is frozen and locked away. Any outbursts are few and far between and don't stay liquid long. When I was little, I believed in Cydonia, the face on Mars, and five-sided pyramids. Now? No.
The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.
The Weighted Companion Cube is cheating on you, that slut.
Now which conspiracy theory am I supposed to believe in again?
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Some scary stuff. Maybe we should approach any life with EXTREME CAUTION.

They could travel on asteroids too, not need to get paranoid over this...
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

But on asteroids they'd burn up when entering the atmosphere. I'm assuming with Mars we'd be talking about them traveling along with samples, so they'd actually have a chance of surviving.
But to all of this. If they get the evidence, sure, but the only thing those images say to me is we still have a hell of a lot to learn about Mars' geology before we can start screaming we found life.
There are plenty of natural features on Earth as well that look artificial. Just look at some typical Atlantis banter.

Most meteorites are very cold shortly after impact. The interaction with the atmosphere that causes them to 'burn up' only really effects the temperature of the surface atoms and doesn't penetrate the object at all. Whatever doesn't burn off in the atmosphere remains very cold.
