Got to agree with Allen here.
I think NASA announcing it was a huge mistake. It changes the emphasis from a truly noteworthy discovery by dedicated bio-scientists, to a damp squib from the rocket boffins.
The discovery itself is just astounding. Alas its doomed to public obscurity, or worse, bad joke status, thanks to the messenger. Credit where its due here, although not "space-related", it IS an amazing bit of science and should stand by itself rather than being rolled-in to a dubious PR campaign by NASA.
