More and more we are learning of the extremes life can live at. It makes the idea of some extraterrestrial life, more and more likely all the time...doesn't it?

Any thoughts?

More support for the theorm that wherever there is liquid water there will be life. Suspect that this would hold true throughout the universe.

The cosmos seems pre disposed to produce life. There might even be a so far undiscovered energy metric associated with life that pervades the universe.

Feel the force Luke?

if we find life, say on Mars,just as an example would you find it a bit of an anti-climax, if it turns out to be a micro-organism.i would hope we are looking for somthing we can communicate with ,not put in a petri dish.we know life can put up with some pretty extreme conditions.what do we do when we have found it,cut it up, experiment on it,put it in a zoo.no wonder other life is reluctant to make its existence known.
