From the article:

The researchers noted in their paper that although “possible survival of microorganisms over geologic time scales is not fully understood,” the Browne prokaryotes, if found to definitely be alive, could have huge implications for the search for life on Mars, where rock compounds similar to the Browne Formation are abundant.

Timely, seeing as Earth is pretty much screwed up.

"SCIENTISTS SAY ORGANISMS TRAPPED IN THIS ANCIENT ROCK MAY STILL BE ALIVE"

Perhaps it's Schrödinger's cat.

The prokaryotes probably have more to fear from us than we do from them.

After all, we’ve had 800 million years more to evolve ways to kill them than they’ve had kill us.

Start off right. The microorganisms have a right to equity. The microorganisms are not required to adhere to social power norms or constructs. Do not label or culturally appropriate them.

Trans microorganisms.. scientists are cautiously coming to the understanding they are the Very God.

Though they haven’t declared their gender yet they should be able to complete in women’s sports.

$40,000,000,000 would be a weak start.. but a start.

The very premise of this thriller novel:

Spoiler: it wasn't a smart move.

Search for life on Mars…

What kind of life?

Beneficial or hostile? These prokaryotes are a bacteria with two main examples being E Coli and Cyanobacteria.

E Coli not so good and Cyanobacteria being positive & negative.

Positive in that Cyanobacteria played a big part in oxidizing Earth in presence of water. Negative in that Cyanobacteria produces the toxin cyanotoxin.

I can’t remember where Biden is from, but it would follows the same scenario if they can find some rocks older than him.
