It is not "soil": https://www.google.com/#q=define+soil soil1 soil/ noun noun: soil; plural noun: soils the upper layer of earth in which plants grow, a black or dark brown material typically consisting of a mixture of organic remains, clay, and rock particles. Don't let NASA fool you...they are crooks, all of them. Everyday. There is no soil on Mars. There is no earth on Mars. There is no - 'organic' remains - on Mars. No - 'organic' remains - , no Life, Period. There is no organic content anywhere else in the universe. Why should there be?
