Schulze-Makuch said NASA conducted an experiment that involved adding water to the soil, which drowned any life hidden in the Martian landscape.
The Viking Labeled Release experiment first returned positive for metabolism, but a related investigation found no trace of organic material.
According to Schulze-Makuch, the water containing a nutrient solution in the soil may have contained too much liquid and that "[any life] died off" eventually.
Skeptics may dismiss his claims as bizarre, but what Schulze-Makuch described is true for microbes living inside salt rocks in the Atacama Desert in Chile, which has a similar landscape to Mars. These microbes do not need rain to survive, and exposure to too much water would kill them. (Related: Radio signals from mobile phone towers could lead ALIENS to Earth.)
The two landers involved in NASA's Viking mission safely landed on Mars on July 20, 1976 (Viking 1) and September 3, 1976 (Viking 2). Both were equipped with meteorology instruments, a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, a seismometer and stereo color cameras. These instruments allowed NASA to look for possible signs of life and study the soil as well as the physical and magnetic properties of Mars' atmosphere.
Schulze-Makuch said the results were "puzzling" because one of the tests came back positive while the other was negative for gas exchange. The test also identified small amounts of chlorinated organics.
In the test that was positive for life, researchers added water to the soil to find out if products of respiration and metabolism would form. According to the theory, if life exists on Mars, microorganisms would consume the nutrients and release the radioactive carbon as a gas.
Searching for Martian life
In a 2007 study, Schulze-Makuch and co-author Joop M. Houtkooper suggested that Martian life could have hydrogen peroxide in their cells. They theorized that the adaptation "would have the particular advantages in the Martian environment of providing a low freezing point, a source of oxygen and hygroscopicity."
According to Schulze-Makuch, if "indigenous Martian life might have adapted to its environment by incorporating hydrogen peroxide into its cells, this could explain the Viking results."
In other words, if the Martian cells contained hydrogen peroxide, the addition of water to their environment would have killed them. Additionally, it would have caused hydrogen peroxide to react with any organic molecules nearby to form large amounts of carbon dioxide, which is what the instrument detected.
Another life detection test called pyrolytic release was conducted to test for organic synthesis. This test mixed carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from Earth to check if the carbon would be incorporated into the soil. The results also came back positive.
The Viking landers detected chlorinated organics, but researchers believe that these untreated crafts may have infected the planet with terrestrial "hitch-hikers." According to Schulze-Makuch, other missions have also verified the presence of native organic compounds on Mars in chlorinated form.
Alien life on Mars could have adapted to the arid environment by living within salt rocks and absorbing water directly from the atmosphere. However, the Viking experiments, which involved adding water to soil samples, might have overwhelmed the microbes and killed them.
Meanwhile, other scientists have also suggested that NASA already found proof of life on Mars 50 years ago. A study released in 2016 also presented the same theory as Schulze-Makuch.
Researchers from Arizona State University and the National Institutes of Health Bethesda analyzed the 1976 Viking Labeled Release Experiment findings and reported that the evidence collected by the Viking mission is "consistent with a biological explanation."
The analysis involved subjecting samples of Martian soil from both landers to nutrient injection and preheating. The soil samples were then stored in the dark for about two months.
The results highlighted noteworthy similarities to responses seen in terrestrial soil, including data from samples collected in Alaska, Antarctica and California.
The research explained that all these characteristics are similar to the responses by a "compendium of terrestrial microorganism species, including the initial positive responses, the 160C and 50C heat controls, the reabsorption of evolved gas upon second injection of nutrient, and death from isolated long-term storage."
The Mars landers continued their missions until their final transmission to Earth on November 11, 1982 (Viking 1) and April 11, 1980 (Viking 2). Both are still on the Red Planet to this day.

NASA believes there was once a great flood on Mars, where there is not even a puddle of water. Meanwhile NASA does not believe there was ever a Biblical Flood on earth, which is 70% covered with water with an average depth of 10,000 feet. NASA's goal in life is to piss on the Creator, and try to disprove the Bible. This all at taxpayer and funny money issuance expense. It was the federal government pushing of evolution in public schools, after Sputnik, along with "the greatest generation's" Supreme Court's banning of acknowledgement of the Creator and Redeemer in public schools, that poured gasoline on the usual moral and spiritual entropy of the nation, and led us to where we are.

When will independent news sites do their homework on NASA? Do you still believe in this space propaganda garbage? NASA was founded by Nazis in the late 1950s after they found that Antarctica was a long endless 200 ft ice shelf encircling earth. They created a treaty that anyone who wants to pass south of the 60th parallel has to have government clearance. When they started NASA, guess who was involved? Walt Disney. Walt Disney helped create and push the globe narrative onto the public.
There are two dangerous narratives created to distract the public. Both the globe and flat-earth models are controlled opposition. Neither is 100% correct, but both use truths to a degree. We do live in a sphere, but it functions more like a snow globe. Our land and water surface is flat in the center.
Our world is a divine simulation. No, I’m not a New Ager. New Agers think of Jesus as just a good prophet, that God gave humans the opportunity to be their own Gods upon this earth, and that the “Holy Spirit” is just “white light” energy that humans can obtain themselves through meditation, like Yoga. (By the way, Shiva is known as “The Destroyer” and a statue of him sits in front of CERN, but that’s a whole other topic).
I’m a devote Biblical Christian that prays to God to fill me with the Holy Spirit (high frequency) to raise my awareness and guide me to truth (5/6G, microwaves, radio waves, etc. jam these frequencies because they are on the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum). I apply and align analyzed science to Scripture. Our ancestors didn’t have the technology of today and the people of the Bible could only describe and translate from things they knew at the time. What we consider modern science today, our ancestors considered divine magic.
We live in a divine simulation. A divine matrix. Jesus turned water into wine, stopped a storm in its tracks, walked on water, healed the sick, and brought the dead back to life. How? He is the Creator of this world that was embodied in the flesh. Modern translation - God created His own divine avatar to function in this world. The Bible says that our bodies are a temple, a tabernacle, that harbors our souls. Our bodies are how our souls function in this world. Modern translation - They are our avatars.
Space is real to a degree. Our world is spacious, but not in an expanding linear timeline. Our world is spacious through dimensional layers - energies, one dimension entwined translucently on top of another. Almost like a movie playing out. This is a concept that most humans cannot grasp. It doesn’t mean humans are stupid, it just means we are not aware of this yet. God’s children are still “asleep in the dirt”. Some will awaken, but sadly, many will not. It’s all about being able to let go of what you’ve been taught and embracing the truth of God.
The Bible, including the canonized scriptures, are layers one on top of the other. Not a linear timeline, but more like a puzzle. Ezekiel’s wheel within a wheel. Cycles being played out. Metaphors and symbols that people need to translate for themselves. Scripture is ancient, but is applicable through all generations. You just have to translate it to the capacity of today. We are lucky that we have quantum physics. It’s the subject that solidified my faith because it shows the functions of God’s Creation and flows with Scripture. We’ve pulled the fabric on his materials, but only God knows how He created it all.
Awaken from the dirt and open your minds, my fellow brothers and sisters. These are our avatars, but our souls are all related. It’s about energy. Which side do you want to end up on? Research the Fruit of the Spirit… Spiritual fruit. Fruit in the Bible is yet another symbol, another metaphor that Jesus teaches us about. 🙏🏻❤️

The only thing we know for sure is that NASA lies to us almost as much as Joe Biden
does. There is much we the people haven't been told about the universe and all things 'SPACE' related.
