It is small glimpses of life in odd places that must tell us there is hope to find it in other places where we would discount in the past.

Life seems to set up if there is a free feed I have noticed irrespective of the hardship in many cases.
The life around those underwater lava outflows surprised me... who would have thought ..but there it is.

AND when I look at my own surroundings life can flourish in strange places indeed.

See, this is my problem … none of this surprises me, Alex … perhaps I'm just turning into an old fuddy duddy, or something but when you think about the abundance of life on Earth, what's the big deal about finding it in 'extreme' places on Earth ?

Sure its of interest, but how can its presence in these locations on Earth, in any way, imply anything about the chances of finding it extra-terrestrially ?
(Other than via human caused panspermia/contamination ?)

Cheers
