Did Probes Find Martian Life... or Kill it Off?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16516952/

2 probes that visited mars approximately 30 years ago may have killed living microbes. The probes were looking for another form of life and it is possible that they did not recognize that they had found the living microbes. The probe was looking for life that was similar to life on earth, but nasa now believes it is possible that the probe found hydrogen peroxide-based life. A Mars mission is planned for this summer that will test to see if the hydrogen peroxide- based life really exists.
