(CNN)NASA's next mission to Mars will be its most advanced yet. But if scientists discover there was once life -- or there is life -- on the Red Planet, will the public be able to handle such an extraterrestrial concept?

NASA chief scientist Jim Green doesn't think so.
"It will be revolutionary," Green told the Telegraph. "It will start a whole new line of thinking. I don't think we're prepared for the results. We're not."

How would you feel? How would it change your worldview (solar system view? Galaxy view? Universal view?)?
 
It won't surprise me at all really. I expect we'll find some form of life it evidence of it on multiple bodies in our solar system. I think it's probably more prevalent than people think really.

It will also be really cool to see the evidence of it.

No, I fully believe that there is lots of life in the universe.

While I think there is lots of life in the universe I think higher forms of life is fairly rare.

Agreed. I'm in the camp that if the universe is that big, and we developed, it's silly to think that nothing else did anywhere ever. Life might never be able to actually move out into the Galaxy much beyond say interplanetary travel, so we may never have any contact. But my bet is that life in general is more common than we think, and there are likely many life forms at least as advanced as we are out there somewhere. I mean in millions of galaxies there's got to be at least what, maybe a few dozen such civilizations. Probably more. I'd bet we're not the only intelligent life in our own Galaxy, let alone in the entire universe.
 
I think most of you are likely aliens, so no... not surprised.
 
Im sure the mega rich will enjoy it after they *** **** Earth into oblivion with environmental pollution
 
We are probably alone:

We are almost certainly not alone:

Nobody has any idea:

My interpretation of this topic is that we are not alone and the creation of life is a complicated and special process. Of course, I am biased as this is in line with my religious beliefs.
 
I mean I would assume that just about every viable planetary system in the galaxy probably has life of some sort. Why would someone think otherwise?
 
There has long been two areas of research that suggested we've already detected life on Mars. Neither enjoys consensus support, or it would be more common knowledge by now. One is the belief by some scientists that the original Viking missions did detect life after all:

https://phys.org/news/2016-10-year-old-viking-life-mars.html

The other line of evidence suggesting life has been detected on Mars lies in the claim that meteorites that originated on Mars and eventually fell on Earth contain evidence of life. Not necessarily now, but in Mar's past, since the meteorites in question are ancient. I've collected meteorites for many years, including fragments of a couple that originated on Mars. The best known examples that have been proposed as containing evidence of past life are the Nakhla meteorite, which fell in Nakhla, Egypt in 1911, and a meteorite found in Antarctica, and described in this recent article:

I think finding intelligent life would have a more dramatic impact then microscopic organisms, but this probably goes without saying.

Cause it doesn't say anything about life elsewhere in the Bible
