And a very good and important question it is, JFalz... With the fiscal irresponsibilities that have been going on of late,we can't be wasting funds on such unimportant matters as this. If 'life' were found on Mars, would we even recognize it? Would it be carbon based? Silicon based? Or based on something else entirely? And, of course, if 'life' were to be found, then these so-called 'astrobiologist will petition for more money in order to continue their search for the origins of life. A complete waste of time and money when the answer is already known and the money (and time) could be better utilized elsewhere.
