Mmmm we may find the interest in space exploration will take a large step forward
... all we need to do is show there is a high probability of oil etc being found in various objects within the solar system and guess what the money will flow like never before for space research exploration etc.
Forget the implications for life etc who cares about that.... this research hints at a billion dollar space mining industry.
AND we thought looking into space was a nerdy pursuit wasting money that could have been spent on sports stadiums.
Thanks Craig another part of the jigsaw... so stars explode to form the chemicals for life to "salt" dust clouds and mix with all the water out there to form the life that can evolve to harvest all the energy...what an inteligent design
.... just thinking how to sell it to the public in USA
