Despite the lack of hard scientific evidence, Mars may not be a completely dead planet. The organisms living there may function based on different types of cellular respiration and biology, forms of existence completely unknown to contemporary science. Images from Mars rovers sometimes seem to reveal intriguing structures resembling objects known on Earth, such as skeletons or certain topologically distinct elements from the rest of the environment. Without further details and knowledge of the circumstances of their acquisition, it is difficult to determine whether such objects constitute living nature or not. Perhaps we will only learn this when humans land on this planet after a thorough examination of the surface and caves. Such information will be considered false, and will remain so as long as it is not publicly available. The ignorance and stubbornness of those who deny everything they simply cannot, due to a lack of available data, have any idea about, is equivalent to the speculation of those who believe in the existence of life in space and on Mars, as neither position can be confirmed or completely refuted by analyzing missing scientific facts. So what if there is no public knowledge to confirm the claim that living organisms can survive in conditions as harsh as those on Mars, when organisms are known to survive in conditions on Earth described as extremely harsh, such as geothermal springs, or near-vacuum conditions (bacteria are even found at the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space). Both scientific and ordinary people speculate that life on Mars may have existed in the past when the planet was warmer and had liquid water on its surface, supporting this theory with various fossils found in meteorites from Mars that have reached Earth. However, there is still no reliable data to confirm that life ever existed on this inhospitable planet in the past, much less that anything survived in such harsh conditions and could have evolved to the present. It would be better and safer for the first humans to reach Mars if the planet were sterile and free of bacterial spores and any other multicellular organisms, for obvious reasons. However, it must be taken into account that it is not sterile. It is important to remember that what is written in newspapers and discussed on forums and thematic websites on the Internet about Mars is not substantiated by any publicly available scientific data that the public might possess, because no one in the public in various countries has access to or any knowledge of it. The only data available is held by the NASA administration and a few other related institutions, as well as institutions in other more developed countries, which currently possess rocket launchers capable of sending missions to Mars and capable of sending small spacecraft beyond Earth. However, let us note that in the case of this type of data, key information on critical issues that may have a significant impact on the balance of power in the world is not disseminated via the Internet and other media, but is collected in order to create a real technological advantage over other economies of our planet. Mars is a planet with diverse topology and terrain, covered by ice caps at the poles, visible even with ground-based observations using larger telescopes. Its surface features mountains and canyons, and Mars is likely full of subsurface cave systems and other structures formed as a result of the planet's transformation and erosion processes. The atmospheric gas pressure in deep caves is different than on the surface, and the temperature in deep caves is also higher than on the planet's surface, creating generally better conditions for the existence of simple organisms.

On Jupiter, it is unlikely to find Earth-like life, as the planet lacks the natural conditions to support it, primarily there is no liquid water, no clear separation of solid or liquid surface from the gaseous one, the entire planet is a massive gas ball, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium with trace amounts of ammonia, methane, and other gases. If Jupiter were ten times more massive, thermonuclear reactions would begin in its core, and it would become a star. The planet experiences turbulent weather phenomena, such as very fast winds and cyclones like the Great Red Spot, visible even with small telescopes from Earth. The planet emits radio waves, and being in its immediate vicinity or on nearby moons would not be very healthy for humans. Jupiter acts like an interplanetary vacuum cleaner, capturing all kinds of cosmic debris, and along with the Sun, it has contributed to favorable living conditions on Earth by capturing asteroids and comets from the solar system for hundreds of millions of years, which would pose a direct threat to life on Earth if they were on a collision course with our home planet.
