I don't see why it couldn't be natural LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 02/12/2010 07:22:49 PM
It'd be interesting if they discovered that something extraterrestrial like, oh, a meteor bit, landed in that pond at some point. Maybe it wasn't ON that meteroid, but maybe the composition of that meteroid allowed it to evolve this way?

Either way, I'm sure interesting interesting things could ensue :D

I love how it was found in a massively polluted lake beetnemesis - 02/12/2010 05:35:22 PM 889 Views
Dang. I thought it was naturally occurring. Missed the part where it was grown in a lab. Gher - 03/12/2010 02:16:16 AM 1052 Views

I don't see why it couldn't be natural LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 07:22:49 PM 932 Views
They haven't mentioned anything saying it's not from Earth, I think beetnemesis - 02/12/2010 08:03:44 PM 1035 Views
It was funded by NASA, I think Darth_Katie - 02/12/2010 08:15:15 PM 1043 Views

Huh! I must have missed that part. *NM* Darth_Katie - 02/12/2010 09:05:15 PM 487 Views
No it isn't! snoopcester - 02/12/2010 07:39:34 PM 1025 Views
I really didn't understand that, either. jh - 04/12/2010 10:44:51 AM 1038 Views
So, apparently, this bacteria doesn't use arsneic for its DNA in its natural state? LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 08:06:02 PM 921 Views
While awesome, it's a bit of a problem. Ghavrel - 02/12/2010 09:04:22 PM 923 Views
Re: While awesome, it's a bit of a problem. TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 10:34:34 PM 866 Views
True, but I'm not "looking for" anything in particular, so I just like it *NM* LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:09:21 PM 523 Views
It's interesting, but not completely shocking BlackAdder - 02/12/2010 08:08:46 PM 1101 Views
Less cool a revelation than I was hoping, but certainly not a complete disappointment. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 10:35:33 PM 482 Views
I don't understand why this is such a big deal. It always seemed common sense to me that there are Tashmere - 02/12/2010 10:40:22 PM 1060 Views
I think it just makes them happy that they can widen the parameters for life-sustaining planets. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/12/2010 11:00:31 PM 481 Views
yah. it's one thing to theorize, another thing to find something to hold true. LadyLorraine - 02/12/2010 11:10:23 PM 932 Views
It's much more than an educated guess. Dreaded Anomaly - 02/12/2010 11:59:18 PM 1123 Views

No, they aren't. Dreaded Anomaly - 04/12/2010 10:01:25 PM 952 Views
Depends on how you view evidence, no? Nate - 05/12/2010 04:50:11 AM 1170 Views
There are correct and incorrect ways to view evidence. Dreaded Anomaly - 05/12/2010 05:42:41 AM 863 Views
