Pleasantly surprised implies an agenda. This is not science.

I've learned to remember that science articles are generally comprised of the words of science reporters, not of the scientists themselves. I see nowhere in the article a scientist declaring himself the be "pleasently surprised"

It looks like spin from a reporter.

Well I suppose. But I think that unlike the R vs. D world we live in there is a pretty broad agreement that it would be a good thing if we find other planets that support life.
