Jason was a young boy of one father at a fight as a tech the town of granada although he now wags as a journalist for a local Radio Station its still difficult for him to talk in front of a microphone about that day and what it did to his family. I mean i mean me and i thought im a little my brother was killed when i was eight years old and you know that was really hard for me. I mean there were when we didnt but i mean its ok but i believe that if we go back to living with the things that happened to us with the destruction of the town and so much shooting happened here in another war i do not think we would survive.

Is there life on mars that is a question scientists are hoping to find out more about soon with the help of a joint European Russian program called exo mars two years ago that program launched a probe to the red planet and after a long journey the probe has now descended into an orbit low enough for it to sniff the planets surface for methane methane would be a possible indicator that life once existed on mars or perhaps told us the first High Resolution images from the x. Mas probe on its new will but they showed part of a crater in the Northern Hemisphere and perhaps evidence of may thing gas on the surface of the red planet. We know that the lifetime when we think its very short just a few hundred years it will be broken down by the sunlight by the u. V. Component of the sunlight so if it is there we know that it has to be refilled all the time and where does it come from thats the big question. And a question that photos alone cant answer so the European Space agency and its russian counterpart ross cosmos plan to send a remote lending vehicle to mars within the next two years the exo mars rover will be fitted with a drill that can take samples as deep as two meters below the planets surface scientists are hoping to determine whether the methane is a result of geological or biological activity.
