That would most likely confirm the possibility of anchovies.

 

Well no seeing the salt content would be too high. So potentially brined turkeys. And if not turkeys absolutely pickles.

Great. Pickle juice. NASA found rettata on Mars...

No, not necessarily. But what it does mean is that astronauts can bring along some freeze dried retatta and add the optional pickle juice should they choose.

This is OK but the most intriguing places in the solar system are moons of Saturn that are ice capped and seem to have deep oceans beneath the surface. It would be unprecedented here on earth if life didnt exist in such environments. Mars imo is a waste and they keep trying to justify the costs with announcements of relative non- events.

I'm less interested the oceans beneath the surface than the polar methane lakes. Finding life there would be amazing. It would open up so many more porobablilites for the existence of other "intelligent" life in the universe. Edited by sodbuster

We've been through this mathematically in another thread and the odds of that have been shown to be approximately zero point zero.

isnt it highly speculative to think methane lakes can support life? with water there's massive precedent here on earth. anyway wrt water on mars, so what? they never said the significance beyond the water itself

Speculative, yes. HIGHLY speculative? I don't think so. Sagan went as far as to show that amino acids could be formed among the elements that they, at the time, knew were on Titan, and that was before we knew these elements existed in giant liquid pools on the surface.

 

The whole point is that it would be paradigm shifting, because we have constrained the search for life to objects that hold liquid water.

Do they have enough time to cook it properly though?

Itd just be mind blowing to find it anywhere outside this plant so I'm looking for the path of least resistance
