Does it get much funnier than this?
Two NASA space probes that visited Mars 30 years ago may have found alien microbes on the Red Planet and inadvertently killed them, a scientist is theorizing.
The Viking space probes of 1976-77 were looking for the wrong kind of life, so they didn't recognize it, a geology professor at Washington State University said
And while some will hate me for this *cough*hugin*cough*, this is a big part of what bothers me about accepting what we know as the truth. Science in general takes it's proven facts or best guesses as fact. While it's great to have a starting point to work from, we've often found out that we thought was fact, wasn't actually. I just wish people in general would take science as accepted best guesses instead of the gospel. And just so we're clear here, I'm not saying anything against science in general, I'm just saying be more open. To use an over used phrase, be willing to think out side the box more often.
What Would Matt Do: I'd hurry up and get back to Mars before those damn aliens breed big scary things and attack us back for destroying one of their colonies.
