Most life evolved based on water in our planet, because there's a lot of it here... that doesn't mean life couldn't have evolved based on hidrogen, or methane, or whatever substance is abundant on a specific planet.
Even on our planet, living creatures have been found in strange places like lava and volcanoes.
Save that money for understanding Mars as it is NOW, before investigating his history.
The original law objective was to "enforce" the use of OSS. The bill that has been approved is has many differences from the original one, but it still "favors" the use of Free Software.
In my opinion this law will not benefit much, personally I think this law will do more harm than good... why?
1. Corporations interested in selling software and hardware to Peruvian government are going to start lobbying and pressing the authorities to convince them not to enforce the law.
2. A battle that should have stayed as a technical confrontation now goes to the (GASP!) legal battleground.
3. Anything that is somehow imposed to the people normally causes reactions against it.
The translation of the bill showed in Opensource.org is the translation of one of the first proposals that were passed to the Congress. The bill that has been approved i different from that (beta) version.

It might be easier to find a genius among very different subjects, than finding one in a group where everybody is similar.
Hawking is a genius
1. send a "space craft" to Mars ...
2. put a gadget for finding life
3. say you might have discovered ancient life
4.
5. more funds!
And even if it might have been originated in water, it could have mutated to continue living on a very different environment.
Once upon a time on earth bacteria (algae) changed his diet from CO2 to O2.
I think it's better searching for life than searching for corpses, and searching for water might not be the best idea right now.
... they think that instead of being brought in a spaceship it was carried on a meteorite.

that should have been faster than a human posting on twitter.
