As an actual qualified microbacteriologist (for those who dont' know - people who study virus's and bacteria, and micro-organisms), and also an astronomer, it's information which qualifies what some of my work and professional colleges believe, that microbial life does exist outside the boundaries of our planet. Unfortunately we dont' have the vehicle or means to zoom off out to them, say g'day and zoom back with a few happy snaps.
Asteroids specimens that I have personally seen at QUT (queensland university of technology), which have interesting, I guess you could call 'footprints' or evidence of microbial activity inside the core of them, discovered when sliced open, further supports this theory.
I once remember going to a public astronomy event a few years back, where the astonomer running the show asked the public did anyone believe NASA did not land on the moon. Like clockwork, there was some idiot who put up his hand and claimed it was all nonsense, and supported the conspiracy theory of it being made in a movie studio. The astronomer then swung around the telescope (which was a really really big one) and showed us one of the lunar modules on the surface of the moon. It was rather comical to watch the conspiracy person eat his words.
To think life does not exist outside of this planet is like having your eyes open with the horse paddles on.
I'll leave with one more piece of hard evidence (or lack of) - ever wonder the earth is not older than 4.2billion years old? The answer is simple - they simply haven't foound an older rock on earth, older than 4.2 billion years yet.
I'll go back to eating my popcorn now...
