NOVA - Finding Life Beyond Earth. 720p

Scientists are on the verge of answering one of the greatest questions in history: Are we alone? Combining the latest telescope images with dazzling CGI, Life Beyond Earth will immerse audiences in the sights and sounds of alien worlds, while top astrobiologists explain how these places are changing how we think about the potential for life in our solar system. We used to think our neighboring planets and moons were fairly boring -- mostly cold, dead rocks where life could never take hold. Today, however, the solar system looks wilder than we ever imagined. Powerful telescopes and unmanned space missions have revealed a wide range of dynamic environments -- atmospheres thick with organic molecules, active volcanoes, and vast saltwater oceans. This ongoing revolution is forcing scientists to expand their ideas about what kinds of worlds could support life. And if we do find primitive life forms elsewhere in the solar system, it may well be that life is common in the universe—the rule, and not the exception.

The high atmospheric pressure could damp down the ignition process...not to mention the complete lack of combustion capable gases like oxygen, etc...

This is a MUCH better look at life on other planets. Finally a rational, logical and analytical documentary. Not like those wacky, illogical shows on the "History" channel that deal with so called UFOs.
