Mars Viking Robots "Found Life" 36 Years Ago

[crossfire]

Mathematical analysis adds to growing body of work questioning the negative results of a life-detection experiment 36 years ago.

• New results question the finding that the Mars Viking experiments did not find life.
• The analysis was based on studying the mathematically complexity of the experiment results.
• The idea is that living systems are more

Fuck. Yeah.

If this turns out to be true I'll get to do another victory dance in front of the EARTH IS TOTES SPECIAL people like I did back in the 90s when they first discovered extrasolar planets. :D

I've said this before in my astro-biochemistry class and I'll say it again. Bacteria might be "life", but it sure as hell ain't satisfying, and I won't be satisfied until I see little green men.
