well, these days, there is a special interest in searching for extraterrestrial life
but i don't understand this. all such missions are aimed at looking for Earth like conditions,(presence of water, requisite atmospheric conditions). how can we be so sure that life can survive only in these sort of conditions.
i mean, just think, it is possible that some forms of life may survive and flourish even(in fact, only) in conditions which we are assuming to be too harsh for life to exist.
just imagine, some day, some extraterrestrial form of life lands on Earth and after taking a look around, declares that this planet cannot posses life.
