"They really ought to get off this Search for Life kick."
Why?
Search for Life is not the reason NASA exists, nor is it the reason for Moon, Mars and Beyond. Assume that life exists on every rocky planet and will be found while the real missions are being done.
I will tell you why. Searching for "life on other planets" is another attempt by science to undermime religion and push evolution. How many billions or trilions have been spent to convince people not to believe the Bible?
