Weve spent decades scratching the surface of Mars trying to uncover life there. But weve been searching a barren wasteland bombarded by radiation and bathed in toxic perchlorates. The entire time, it's likely that its been too hostile to harbor extant life. So if we want a better shot at finding currently living life on Mars, we need to go underground. That is exactly the purpose of Orpheus, a proposed Mars vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) hopper mission put forth by Connor Bunn and Pascal Lee of the SETI Institute at the 57th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC).
