Meanwhile, we wasted how many billions on a Mars rover looking for signs of life? Haven't found any have we?
Are scientists really idiots?
We need to stop looking for life on Mars. No, seriously.
If we DO find life there, every envirowacko in the world will demand that we NEVER go there, so as to not risk the existence of that life.
So we need to stop looking. Now. We’ll find out when we get there.
