This is exactly why "Martians" have been represented as little green men with big bug eyes for the last 50 years... Why are we only discussing the search for alien HUMAN life? Why would aliens (carbon-based or not) look like anything recognizable to us? For all we know, we've found some already and just didn't realize it.
And as far as the "moon argument" goes, I don't think that it has as drastic an effect as you seem to claim. Are you saying that without the moon, Earth wouldn't be inhabitable? That's preposterous. The moon makes tides, werewolves, and not much else.
