Let's pretend we find life on Mars. Genuine question, does that go against the Christian narrative? Why or why not?
Liquid water exists on Mars, boosting hopes for life there, NASA says

- Start date
they will never find mankind anywhere else on any planet and they will never find intelligent life, neither more primitive or more advanced - we are it

Why don't you go to Mars?

I don't see anything in the Bible that says it's impossible.

What specific Christian narrative are you referring to?
Nasty Stuff that N2H4/Hydrazine... I used to do hydrazine loads for second stage ACS systems as well as the Delta II second stage which was hypergolic but, in addition to fuel then you have the other lovely component N2O4/nitrogen tetroxide...crazy deadly stuff...both components. I quit doing SCAPE about a year or so ago, didn't pay enough extra to deal with the annual medical qualifications & risk your life going in suit, I left it to the young glory seekers...:chuckle:

Yeah, that was one plot point in the book I didn't really believe. Trying to separate the hydrogen from the hydrazine with basically an open flame in a pressurized habitiat has DEATH! written all over it! :rotfl:

I am talking in broad strokes, would it have any impact? I can't remember scripture talking about martians, after all.

I can't speak for others but I'm sure there are some planets out there that probably have some form of primative life. It wouldn't effect my Chrisitian views.

My answer: No more than discovering life on the North American continent a while back.

Whew....I'm thinking your family is greatly relieved. :thumb:
The stuff is crazy flammable & explosive if it contacts an oxidizer! I have not read the book yet but, having first hand experience with hypergolic fuels I would say it does not sound plausible.
C.S. Lewis certainly didn't think so.

I think he depressurized his habitat before his handling of the hydrazine. I'll have to go reread that section of the book again.
yeah, really. it does nothing to refute God -
Even then it sounds like a dangerous proposition... Hydrazine coupled with oxidizer or a catalyzer will ignite or decompose rapidly even in a vacuum, that is why it is used for spacecraft fuel...but, I assume you know that.
