Mars And Methane

The idea of life on Mars was slipping. Over the last few years there have been many missions, Phoenix and Viking to name a couple, where the results were negative. Yet now we seem to see the indication of large plumes of Methane. Methane is an organic molecule that tends come out of living things or organic matter. So my hopes are up. We know there's ice and was lots of water, now we have methane.

Could we discover life on Mars? I think we need to get a manned mission underway asap!
