I read the article yesterday and just wondered what other forms of life are being dropped on us from outer space.

Who knows what it will turn into.

Hard to believe that something could survive 2500 degrees. Kind of amazing when you think about it. I'm guessing they can test it for amino acids? Although they also have found the remains of bacteria on some space rocks. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to meeting ET. I bet they have way better detectors than us!!!! I'm hoping that I haven't found one of those rocks and thought it was just iron junk. Heard they can be valuable.
