Or maybe you believe in the Great Filter hypothesis, and signs of life discovered on Mars implies that this filter may be ahead of humanity rather than behind it
The most impactful moment of our history: explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it
I saw a conspiracy theory that said we used to live on Mars but we polluted it so much that, to survive, we had to send a rocket with two children to the next planet, called Earth. Then everyone died.

Even if this were the case though, life on Mars (or anywhere outside of Earth) would be a really cool discovery!

The children’s names were Adam and Eve.
If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.
Who knows what signs we might find in ice cores from the Martian South Pole.
Finding signs of technological development on Venus on the other hand would be interesting…
