I really hope that we find the first Martian fossil before I die, or like, drill into Europa and get some video of a probe being eaten by a squid the size of a stadium. It's kind of crazy to have grown up with this idea that there almost definitely isn't and never was other life in the solar system and now be seeing more and more how wrong that might be.

I'm so with you on that. All these little steps towards that outcome make me so giddy and hopeful.

I really don't know why, but it's just such an amazing thought knowing that life thrives or thrived somewhere else.
