I find myself wandering; "If we find life on Mars will it be related?"
Meteorites originating from mars do land on earth. Surly rocks from earth have found there way to mars. Perhaps taking life with them?
We are losing some of our outer atmosphere all the time, surly some microbes must escape also?
They would face the cold vacuum of space and all that radiation, dieing a cold lonely death. But give our microbe a big enough rock of the right type, and there would seem to be some hope of survival. Have you got a relative on Mars?
In the UK data that is collected about someone is covered by the 'data protection act'. This sets out what can and can not be done with personal data. I think promises that "we will not abuse this power" are not to be trusted unless legally enforceable.
Isn't there anything similar in the US to protect personal data?
Best/Worst?
This is simply black and white thinking, Am I right or wrong? What about all the wonderful shades of gray? There is always a third option, or more tricky bit is finding them; Tools-->Options-->Third Option
