Artikel zur Astrochemie: Mögliche Lebenszeichen auf fernen Planeten klingen spannend, aber die Bestätigung kann Jahre dauern

If only we had more funding… but be that as it may, I find the most exciting prospect for discovery of life to be Enceladus. We could confirm much quicker and more confidently than faraway planets, not to mention the implication for the Fermi paradox and Drake equation.

If we confirmed life on two planets in a single solar system, just imagine the implications for what it might mean for not only where we may look for life, but the fact that it may very well imply that life is not only common, but a natural development in suitable conditions.
