No Methane, Bad News

Curiosity continues to trek across the surface of the Red Planet. During his journey the rover has take a number of samples of Martian air, searching for a variety of indicators. One of the most important, or at least, of the most interest, is the amount of methane found in the atmosphere. This is important because methane is an indicator of life. Though its presence does not confirm life, its absence is a huge indicator that there is none.

Curiosity found no trace evidences of life, which leads us ever closer to the knowledge that maybe, just maybe, Mars has no life upon it.
