Should be not as much trouble to find evidence of life in abortion clinics. Lots closer to home too.

^^^Word.

I recently read that one of the “moon” rocks that was brought back by our astronauts turned out to have originated on Earth.

That must have been a heck of a throw.

[roving]

They need to be asked if a fetus is life

[HandyDandy]

Jackie Gleason-esque!

[FrankRizzo890]

It wasn’t so much the throw that amazed scientists, it’s the amount the guy had to LEAD the moon!

[HandyDandy]

Well, after-all, his name was ARMstrong!

[Sawdring]

Google “rare nasa announcement 2024” for possible clues.

But not in a mother’s womb.

If I had a dollar for every time the media has pushed this narrative for up coming NASA announcements then I would be rich.

life has been found on Mars

No it hasn't.

Thanks for the heads up!

> There are bacteria on Earth that live deep underground that oxidize iron instead of oxygen.

Whatever you were trying to convey in that sentence, it came out wrong. In particular the "oxidize iron instead of oxygen" part.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Whatever. Just ignore the obvious meaning and nitpick.

What is the word that describes the process?

PS - Rust is oxidized iron.

So...maybe...a billion or more years ago, the very beginnings of single-cell “life” got underway on Mars.

Then Mars’ atmosphere thinned, the water evaporated, and solar radiation killed the single-cell organisms.

And now... What comes of it, besides satisfying scientist’s curiosity?

It’s a very expensive billion-year-old “crime scene investigtion”.

Yes, sorry about the nitpick. I saw your comment before I'd read the whole article (which wasn't too much clearer), but I get what you mean.

[Secret Agent Man]

“Chemical Clues”

Could hint at

Ancient life (meaning not there now)

Lotsa wishing going on here

Don’t tell me ...

NASA just found out about the canals on Mars and now they’re looking for the canal builders ...

[Kriggerel]

This sounds like a gawdawful small affair, to the girl with the mousy hair...
