You're making it way toooo complicated...
If there was life on Mars.... that means billions and billions of years ago... Mars was covered with life... teaming with flora, fona, dinosaurs....
And the churning and burning of a bazillion years... that flora, fona, dinosaur was compacted, pressurized, turned into juice and squeezed into black gold!
Why do you think we're going to Mars, because Bush thinks there's OIL there!!!
OIL don't need no atmospere!
It's below the ground!
Take another look at that Rover arm! It's an OIL Derek with a diamond head drill bit!
Seismagraph!
Sonar!
And a built in Gas Chromatograph to measure Butaine, Aromatics and BTUs!
Come on boyz! We got some drilling to do!
YeeeHAW!
