When the Mars 2020 rover launches later this year, it will be heading to the red planet to look for evidence of life. Scientists don't think it's likely that life exists there now -- but they do think that life could have existed there billions of years ago. And a new study looking at ancient meteorite sites here on Earth could give clues to how life could have developed there.

“The question that drives our interests isn’t whether there’s life on present-day Mars,” Tim Lyons, distinguished professor of biogeochemistry at the University of California Riverside, said in a statement. “We are driven instead by asking whether there was life on Mars billions of years ago, which seems significantly more likely.”

Boeing admits to ‘gaps’ in its testing of troubled Starliner capsule

Starliner

Boeing has admitted there were "gaps" in the software testing of its ill-fated Starliner capsule and has committed to performing more rigorous testing in the future. The Starliner is designed to ferry astronauts between Earth and the International Space Station (ISS) but has suffered from multiple delays and problems, particularly during its first orbital test flight last year.

“We know we need to improve, particularly with rebuilding trust with our customer, and we pledge our discipline and commitment to doing so,” John Mulholland, vice president and program manager of Starliner, said in a briefing as reported by Space News. “We’re going to apply additional rigor to systems engineering and software development.”
