NASA Scientist Says He Is 95% Sure There Is Life on Mars
Experiments done more than two decades ago on Martian soil collected by Viking Lander 1 and 2 provided evidence that life might exist on the red planet, according to Joseph Miller, Ph.D. who’s been working on NASA space projects for 30 years.
Miller recently did a re-analysis of data collected by the Viking Landers, and found that something in the collected soil was apparently metabolizing nutrients—and doing so with a distinct biological rhythm that, he says, can only be found in a living cell.
"We think that in conjunction with the strong indications from Mars Observer images that show water flowed on the surface in the recent past, a lot of the necessary characteristics of life are there."
"I think back in 1976, the Viking researchers had an excellent reason to believe they’d discovered life; I’d say it was a good 75 percent certain. Now, with this discovery, I’d say it’s over 90 percent."

Life is everywhere!
Big whoop.
Theirs water on mars as well.
And on Jupiter's moon Titan.

Saturn's moon Titan, you mean. There's also an ocean on Enceladus.
Jupiter's moon Europa has an ocean and is another prime candidate for life.

You do not need water for life, life here on Earth needs water to live. That is one of the biggest misunderstanding that we have about other life forms in the universe.
