Okay. Here is my 2 cents worth. Every article here focuses on the following: alien hoax/gov. conspiracy(old hat), microbial death, and extra-terrestrial intelligence. Point 1: There are still plenty of aliens on this planet. Point 2: Microbe handling is dangerous but who cares...we are going to wipe ourselves out first. Point 3: When do I get to come across some intelligent life FROM this planet???? If there is sentient life out there, we would be too inane for them to even care. We are the worst version of a virus on this planet( the self destroying type). NASA's ability to come up with anything beyond rocks, dust, and rather uninteresting petrified crap is remote at best. And heaven forbid that we did find intelligent life else where in the universe because that would send every modern religion scrammbling to rewrite their indoctrinations to include such a slight oversight as divine providence placing life elsewhere. Peace and well being to all!
