It's a God-awful smell affair.... is there life on Mars? Rocks ruled out as source of mystery methane on Red Planet

Methane

Sounds like there may be an announcement very soon. Could all that methane be leaking from remnant underground life in caves?

Just how complex could life get assuming:

1) hypersalinity

2) weak but significant geothermal energy

3) radioisotopic decay

4) relatively low temperature, say 278.15K

5) life started approximately the same time as Earth, say between 3 and 4GY ago.
