That was quite a discovery Joe. A lot of people were expecting proof of E.T. Life and were of course disappointed. I think NASA could have handled the release better though.
It really is quite a phenomenal development. Between this and the underwater volcanic vent lifeforms they discovered a few years back it shows us how determined life can be in any environment.

I was one of them. I had envisioned an announcement regarding some bacterial life off world.

NASA is doing so much with the budget they have to work with. It is just a matter of time before the question, are we alone? Is answered.
