"'If we can get to Mars and bring samples back, I put it at a better 90 percent chance that we could prove there was some microbial life on Mars.'"
"'I would say there could be life everywhere. It doesn't mean it looks like us. It doesn't mean it has the tentacles you have in movies.'"
"'8.8 million pounds of thrust are gonna send four astronauts farther into space than we've ever sent humans before, faster than humans have ever traveled around the moon, back safely to Earth, and set up for subsequent missions to follow.'"
"'Once the vehicle performs a translunar injection burn, it will head past the moon, use its gravity to swing back toward Earth, and splash down in the Pacific Ocean off the US West Coast about 10 days later.'"
NASA's chief, Jared Isaacman, believes Mars could hold evidence of microbial life, estimating a 90% chance of proof if samples are collected. With two trillion galaxies in the universe, he suggests life could exist elsewhere, though not necessarily resembling humans. This statement precedes the Artemis II launch, marking NASA's return to the moon after over 50 years. The mission will involve a 10-day lunar flyby with four astronauts, utilizing the Orion capsule and Space Launch System rocket, aiming for a safe splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
