Honestly, even if we find microbial life on other planets/moons, it wouldn't make the news that much as we already know some forms of life actually came to Earth by meteors.

No, we don’t know that.


I think it would expose 2 camps of people. Like masks have. Some would react with anger and disbelief. And for others, it would be Tuesday.


Biologists might lose their shit over seeing new forms of life. Of course it would be decades at a minimum before anything useful came out of it.


Uh, source for that? Because it's complete news to me as something "we know", and I think to pretty much most of the world's biologists and mainstream scientists of all kinds.


And we called it Covid-19. War Of The Worlds in reverse.

It begins. Ooola.
