Is there any (micro?)organism able to survive on mars?
If not is there any team working on making artificially evoloving some organism so they can survive on mars?
if not, why?

good question. Mars' surface is mostly carbon dioxide. I don't even think we need to engineer a creature to live there.

i mean it's atmosphere

the big problem is finding enough water. all life requires water. and mars is a very dry planet

>mostly silicon, ferric oxides and almost no atmosphere. Also fucking cold.

If we colonised mars, it would only become another breeding ground for sandniggers. true story.

silicon is a plastic you moron

yeah the issue is the water. it's solid. and all life we know about needs liquid water. so for now it's a no go, unless there's a depth at which sub-surface water on mars is liquid, in which case the place is probably already infested with slimey mineral-eating goo.

1) no life is possible only on earth.
2) no because evolution doesn't work.
