      Hi again gazakim. Wow your really interested in aliens! So far no we havent found evidence of aliens but we have found water on mars, which means that it is likely that there was once life there and maybe still is … but only small bacteria and microorganisms! Who knows what we might find in the future!

      Hi gazakim,
      We haven’t found aliens, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any! We just haven’t been looking well and long enough. I’m currently working with other scientists do discover which types of organisms could live on Mars. There are bacteria that live inside freezing ice at the North Pole, incide hot lava rock, at 2,000 metres depth in old asteroid impact sites on Earth, in water in salt mines, in dust in air we breathe – so why not also on Mars? There is a Mars mission flying there right now to find out! It’s called “Curiosity Rover” and you can watch the countdown to landing, and lots of other information here:

      Hi gazakim, no aliens haven’t been discovered but if you think that they may be out there somewhere (like me!) then you can check out the SETI (Search of ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) institute: http://www.seti.org/

      Hiya Gazakim, aliens have not been found. I don’t believe there are such a thing as aliens as films show them, but I can see that there could be other life forms (single cells) somewhere else in the universe but not sure we’ll ever meet.
