so I've already said this over at the coffee house so kyng knows my position on this but Life is growing increasingly more plausible... In fact it was discovered about a week or so back that the pioneer 13 probe found traces of phosphine in the areas suspected as being habitable about 40 years ago but was missed because we weren't looking for it. Primarily the lower and middle cloud decks which seems to add more credence to the theory that microbes are creating it since it's meeting all the criteria.

but we won't know 100% for sure until we send another probe there to re-check. Still more evidence than we have for life on mars, or saturn's moon titan for that matter. But I'd say it's pretty darn likely.

heh, 42, 42 years ago, 42... the answer to life the universe and everything.
