Where might we find alien life in this solar system? || Part 1

Have we found Aliens yet? Well lets look at the science.

Humanity has long looked to the skies and wondered if we are alone. However, with so many telescopes and astronomers looking to deep space, what about our own cosmic backyard.
Join us as we journey from the burning hellscapes of Mercury to the freezing landscapes of Pluto to take a scientific look at the question: Are we alone in the universe? We will take a completely scientific look at what we know of some of the best places in the solar system to find life, such as phosphene on Venus and the intense volcanoes on Io.
In part 1 we will look at the inner solar system and the rocky planets. Have there been fossils from Mars found? Does life exist in the clouds of Venus? And does Mercury hold some dark secrets? Well, all that and more. I hope you all enjoy.
