The report appears to assume abiogenesis took place on Mars, thus life is there today or perhaps, billions of years ago life evolved from non-living matter on Mars. The report does open the door to more drilling operations on Mars, looking for life. Since the BB event, there is ~ 4.352 x 10^17 seconds elapsed in the history of the universe until the present. Abiogenesis at work on Mars would take time too, how many seconds are needed for non-living matter to evolve into life on Mars?
