Someone said the saddest thing is that when we find life on Mars it will be failed life on a dead planet. I think the saddest thing is that that will likely have no effect on humans' views on preserving the Earth.

Ah the age old question. "Is it easier to train oil riggers to be astronauts, or astronauts to be oil riggers?"

I am convinced, when we dig deep enough, we will find single cell life on Mars, and rudimentary multi-celled life

At this point it would be way more bizarre if Mars somehow DOESN'T have microbial life under its surface.

I suspect the Martian crust never completely melted into a magma ocean, the way Earth's crust did. It's made up of patches of regolith that all melted and subsequently fractured due to impacts and tectonic activity and cooling at different times and different rates. That made for pathways for the early Martian ocean to slowly flow deep down into the crust and probably even the mantle as the planet cooled. Earth's crust is also saturated with water, but not to the same degree - it's more chemically bound up with the rocks under extreme heat and pressure. On Mars, it's large amounts of liquid water separate from the rock itself, essentially wet gravel. Also on Earth, heat rising from the core and mantle often heats the water forcing it back to the surface, while plate tectonics recycles wet crust back into the mantle, where the water turns to steam and eventually gets belched back out in volcanic eruptions. There's no tectonic cycle on Mars to recycle water vapor back into the atmosphere once it gets trapped in the crust, either chemically bound to minerals or just hanging out in the gravel. It's down there for good, unless Mars smacks into some Ceres-sized asteroid capable of melting the entire crust and releasing all that water.

Whether or not Mars once had (or still has) life, it is still a very fascinating planet. But I still think it's better to send machines there than humans, at least for now.

That they didn't name that rock "Frozen Peas" is a glaring injustice.
