NASA’s shameful analysis of the alleged bacteria in the Mars meteorite made me very suspicious of their microbiology, an attitude that’s only strengthened by my reading of this paper.

“…biological molecules containing arsenic rather than phosphorus would be too unstable to support life.” -It doesn’t sounds very convincing or definitive. Thanks for sharing the article though. Interesting read.
Facing the unknown many will likely make strange comments- maybe they should have kept it a secret until the situation was clarified or..even better they could ask for the world wide support. Anyway, it scares me when I think they are also in charge to find means for helping humanity survive after a meteorite collision or ..a new glacier era.
In light of the recent studies having found arsenic based life forms this article is even more damning in terms of NASA’s shaky scientific practices.
NASA has always been mysterious and will remain to be… Half of their study and analysis goes unseen and it has no transparency whatsoever.
