| I saw that. I am hopeful that it turns out to be microbes that shaped the outcropping. |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Wouldn't that be awesome?
My understanding of astrobiology is that if the conditions are close enough, and large-scale enough, life is pretty much inevitable.
