John Grotzinger, Curiosity’s chief scientist, recently revealed to NPR that the Mars rover has made a discovery “for the history books.” Is it life? There are several lines of evidence indicating that it is. This would be the biggest scientific discovery of our generation. If Curiosity did discover life, what type of life could it be? What is it based on? And how would it change the way we view life in the universe?
I am going with DNA-based microbial life, originated on Mars.
Why not? If it's life, I don't mind be wrong about the rest. :)
If this is indeed signs of life, then I can only hope that it will give a serious shot in the arm to further exploration of our solar system.
Also, it could give the human race a healthy fresh perspective.
