If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

Seems to me like "finding life" is only an afterthought at NASA or somewhere around 20% interest. Every time they launch something is to "test the rock composition that will tell us about the beginning of the Solar System" or " analyze the cloud structure on Saturn so we can send a cool picture of some gas"

It's never finding life. Sometimes they insert it, like an afterthought. "something something something that MAY also tell us if life could be possible" <------- a far cry from actually focusing on that.

I get it that science is vast and you have different specializations BUT if they want more funding how about you get the public excited with more that just spectroscopy raw data ?!

Europa is at least as interesting as Mars and we haven't sent 1(one) mission there !! We dropped poo poo on Titan an it's further away .

A bunch of jokers

That's a lot easier than removing 99.9999999% of earth bacteria from a spacecraft to avoid false positives.
