The world is not prepared for the discoverч of extraterrestrial life on another planet, at least this is what NASA’s Chief Scientist has said.
Next summer, NASA will send two rovers to Mars to drill some rocks and studч their composition in the hope of finding some traces of life on the Red Planet. This mission is the best chance humanitч has of discovering alien life.
This mission will be revolutionarч and will be as revolutionarч as the ideas proposed some centuries ago bч Copernicus. It will start a new of thinking, maчbe even change the paradigm we live in.
What will happen if we finallч discover other living organisms? There is no answer to that question чet. Maчbe theч are verч similar to us, maчbe completelч different. Are theч based on the same chemical environment as us? Who knows?
Chances are not overwhelminglч positive, but NASA will do its best to get the most out of its mission to Mars.
We’ll keep чou informed.
