  • Only a person of lower intelligence would debunk, mock, or ridicule anything without having sufficient knowledge about it.

    Questioning everything with an open mind and mutual respect will lead us to the truth in the end.

    Love, peace & knowledge to us all

  • @nmcomeau and by then we'll look like mars when they look at our planet

  • Composer : Delia Derbyshire who created the original Doctor Who theme!

  • Could such organisms evolve into larger ones. Maybe there is a planet like the fictional world Krypton in which everyone had a very strong cell structure and is radiation proof.

  • if oxygen is poisonous to these "extremophiles" then they are definitely on other planets.

  • Sup with these Mormon commercials?? So what if YOU're Mormon... Am I Supposed to say, 'oh, I think I'll be a Mormon now'.. ? Futile Attempt to impose your religion.

  • Hmm. if our oceans go completely to hell, we may have to breed some of these brine shrimp to repopulate and reboot the ocean's ecosystem.

  • @popdognine not really sure what you said, but... I meant life on Mars would be limited to simple organisms, if any. So far, there has been no supporting evidence.
