Some time ago, a noise arose from the depths of the internet, telling us that octopi were probably alien creatures introduced via panspermia , thus delighting fans of the Cthulhu mythos...but wait ! Hold that mocking laughter - the Curiosity explorer has just discovered complex carbon molecules in an ancient lakebed on Mars.
Whilst not proof of direct organic lifeforms, it would certainly be evidence of foodstuffs for putative organic lifeforms
As I write, NASA are planning a press conference to make public the exciting discovery which has already been leaked to the voracious denizens of the internet.
This is NOT evidence of life, but it certainly adds a great deal of potential to the upcoming Mars missions, especially the ESA Exo Mars rover, which will deploy a drill allowing subsurface exploration to a depth of two metres, where fossil evidence may be found, safe from the degenerative radiation of the depleted Mars atmosphere.
The upcoming NASA mission to Mars will include a drone - except that it is being called a helicopter,but it won't have a pilot...so, a drone, then...
With the pending rendezvous with Bennu in December, and New Horizons encounter with MU69 on Jan 1 2019, it's quite a hectic time in space - I just hope the planned protest by the cruelly neglected movement 'SeaHorses Are Alien, Too ,You Know !' - finally gets the recognition they deserve !
This teeny little blog will probably update, so - be prepared for further ramblings...
