In the next 10 years, will NASA (or anyone else) show conclusively that there is no indigenous organic life of any kind (microbes or whatever) alive on or under the surface if Mars? Hard to prove a negative, but will resolve to no if life is discovered.

Not conclusive, but definitely intriguing...

In the comments you say it will resolve no if no life is discovered. You meant YES, right?

predicts YES

Arbitrage:

market title really should be "will we fail to find life on mars in the next 10 years" which, given the upcoming slate of missions, really isn't enough to conclusively say life isn't there.

What happens if in 10 years we don't find life and also don't conclusively disprove it, resolves n/a?

@SGQ if no life is found within 10 years it will resolve as Yes - (as far as we know) Mars is devoid of life
