Re: Aliens or no aliens
Well, aside from me *ahem*, this raises some interesting questions.
The real question besides "Is there life on other worlds (i.e. Mars)?" is now a much different question than 100 years ago. We must ask ourselves, "What kind of life?" Our ultimate goal, as humans, is to find other intelligent beings like yet unlike ourselves. This is the question about Mars. If we found life, what form would it take? Microbial life is the most likely and the first choice. Intelligent life, we now know, is not currently living on the planet Mars. We know this because of radio telescopes. Remember, visible light and radio waves are related. They are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Currently, our knowlege of the universe is mainly based on the electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum is simple to recognize. From right to left (this will have a few errors), we have: microwaves, radio waves, infrared, visible light (all of the colors we can see, with red on the right and violet on the left end), ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays. Light, as we know, travels extremely fast, and vast distances in space are measured in light years, the distance it take light to travel in a year. Therefore, sicne they are all related, we know that all wavelengths of the spectrum (from microwaves, or long wavelengths, to gamma rays, with microscopic wavelengths) travel at the speed of light. Therefore, if there were, perchance, a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star, which is four light years away, they are as of this moment receiving radio waves from 2001. It will take four years for what we are broadcasting right now to reach the planet.
Now, if there were intelligent beings on that planet who used radio to communicate, they would have been getting radio waves from us. Earth is a "noisy" planet, because advanced intelligent beings tend to make noise, not in the sense of sound, but in the sense of radio broadcasts, doctors using x-rays, etc.
EDIT: I will finish this later.

Re: Aliens or no aliens
Now for us, this would work the other way around. If there were intelligent being on mars, we would be hearign radio broadcasts made by them in only about ten minutes. We do not, however, hear anything of the sort. Therefore, if there are intelligent beings on Mars, they must be far less advanced than us, they must be extremely durable (with 200 mile/hour dust storms, tornados, dry ice snowing, little water, no vegitation, 1% Earth's air pressure, little atmosphere made out of Carbon Dioxide, and other problems. Bacteria, however, is very likely to be living on Mars.
