The search for life out there is distracting our investment funds from resource development.

Indeed! We should be trying to put life out there.

Then how do we explain the existence of Democrats?

I wonder if the Martians are debating if there is life on Earth!

How much money did the pinheads at NASA spend to figure this out?!

It kind of reminds me of withholding development of ANWR oil because there might be life there, too. It is possible there is life in ANWR. What we ought to do, morally, is develop the resources and if we come across some odd species of alien lifeforms, rope off that area for later study. The most productive way to search for life would be major resource development.

Until we put people there, we'll never know the answer.

And once they are there, of course the question is answered as there will be life on Mars.

So much for objective truth. Same set of "facts", i.e., data, but different conclusions. I wonder if that applies to global warming.

Aw rats. There were some among us who had absolute *faith* that signs of life would be found on Mars.

Planet Moonbat, somewhere in the Pelosi system.
