It clearly is a privalige to live in this scientific age. Imagine all the great scientist from the past who would be in awe of what so many take for granted today.

The announcement was water flowing on red planet.
Where we find water, we find life or at least that's the case on earth.

Well, I hope there's radioactive monsters then. I imagine water would make evil robots rust. -

Well, in ONE place where we know there is liquid water we know there is life.

I think it's highly unlikely anywhere in outer space life has evolved.
Statistically, you couldn't be more wrong Kate.

Have a friend who works at JPL (he does testing and problem solving stuff for the last rover and has recently been working on a proposal to get another mission to Mars running). But we've argued between us for years over the potential for life elsewhere in the solar system. He's far more optimistic about it than me, but he's looking to some of the places where oceans are pretty darned likely to exist now rather than Mars. Europa and Enceladus may be the ones where things get very interesting. The more we've explored the solar system, the more assumptions about life, and what we thought allowed for it, get challenged.
Do wonder if anything has managed to survive Mars losing its atmosphere and oceans. Or even if there's evidence to be found of something which was once there.

That's a theme with Kate.

The most exciting thing about the announcement today is that " IT WOULD be possible to have life on Mars" Said NASAs John Grumsfeld.
David Bowie quotes to follow shortly.

Do you think it's possible that in your life time they will find life out there? Particularly intelligent life?
Thank you NASA, you might not get the recognition footballers and film stars get, but your work is appreciated.
