Isn't it improbable that Mars life would work entirely different, since Mars isn't that unlike Earth? It's not a ball of ice or anything.

Worms are amazing. We know so little about them, including how hardy they can be, how deep they go, what incidental features helped subspecies survive in crazy biospheres...if there were worms on mars, there could be men on Mars in no time at all, growing mars food and shortly pooping mars poops. Worms are quite literally one of the only reasons humans can proliferate so much, worms take care of billions of background processes that we don't have the technology to manage.

There might be just a few worms there, if any. Maybe not enough for any of that things. What if that worms require much more water than Mars offers? Maybe it's just microbes.
And, even if all goes well.
We can't even maintain *this* planet we live in. We're far from it. Like, light years.
