And by analyzing all the data accumulated from these sites, it's hoped that the research has been determined to find a climate over millions of years and learn more about the potential closing of light in the past. And I think one of the main interests in Mars, other than the fact that it's hoped that we'll be able to colonize at some point, is the fact that they want to see if there's light, any sort of light there past or present. And because the research has gone into Mars, it's suggested that the environment and the atmosphere was very, very much like Earth. And millions of years ago, life on Earth could have been a product from life on Mars. And this is a big reason for a lot of the research now. They're trying to get a handle on exactly where life on Earth got its start. And it may have started on Mars and it got transported here from impact, meteor and asteroid impacts hitting the surface, dislodging material or hypersonic beads and then make it into space. And then you're talking Earth's gravitational pull to make it to ground. And the conditions here are habitable enough for whatever chemical processes are going on on Mars that would lead it to light, actually evolves here. And during the evolutionary period of Earth, at that point in time, life on Mars was starting to die off. So we could be the first Martian.
