We are still seeking, but finding life on another planet/moon that is not based on our form of DNA would finally answer a long abiding question. "One" place with life can happen, if it is an extremely rare event, & would be a dang shame. When a second is found, that actually opens the floodgates, as "two" is actually less likely than just one in this scenario & more than likely means that there are more, possibly many more. That first extra one will be the doozy, tho, & it surely doesn't need to be intelligent life found to open up whole new vistas.

I think it would be more surprising to find we were the only planet in the solar system with life.

pretty cool. I wonder how you prepare for a job like that?The researcher seems very conservative in her evaluation of the potential of her observations

No direct evidence has yet been found to support any life on Mars theory, though they have been looking, but for microbail fossils or more likely things such as methane traces or other hints at life. Though, if any actual life is found, it is expected to be microbial
