  5. Re:New slashdot category on Possible Signs of Life Detected On Venus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People didn't think that there could be life in hot springs, in the dead sea, in glacial ice, or thermal vents on the ocean floor either. The organisms that live in these extream enviroments are just as different from other bacteria, than humans are from E. coli and they were found right here on earth. It might not be so far fetched to think that airborn microbs could be living in similar extream enviroments on another planet.
