In the words of Carl Sagan, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
The search for life is a top priority at @NASA, and our astrobiologists are calling on the scientific community to come up with a new way of asking: how close are we to finding life?pic.twitter.com/XXFGVqmYnq
Scientists worldwide collaborate, using different tools and methods, to search for life beyond Earth. Writing in the journal @Nature, @NASA scientists propose having a scale to contextualize the significance of new results related to this search.pic.twitter.com/yD9VzfYmOC
The scale emphasizes the importance of the groundwork that many @NASA missions lay without directly detecting possible biological signals. Together, we can be stronger in our efforts to look for hints that we are not alone.

If I tell you that ALL THE PHYLA that appeared during the Cambrian Explosion came as microscopic zooplankton frozen in one or more comets that hit our planet, of course you would think that that is an absolutely crazy hypothesis. AMAZON BOOKS.pic.twitter.com/5eTZhAFRWe
It would mean that somehow, all extant life on the Earth today is, more or less, an image of what could be going on elsewhere in the galaxy/universe.
How come NASA never sent a follow up direct life finding experiment to Mars after the puzzling results from the Viking Lable release experiments? Geology and environmental history is all good, but no direct life finding experiments since the 70s...
They never did the Viking experiments again because spraying nutrients on rocks wasn't reliable. Here are some new life finding capabilities on Mars https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/signs-of-life-on-mars-nasas-perseverance-rover-begins-the-hunt …
How close are we to finding a black cat in a coal mine at midnight when we’ve never seen a cat before and we’re not sure if we’re even looking in the right mine? Keep looking but trying to guess how close we are to succeeding is a gamble I wouldn’t bet on.
More like in a coal mine where there's piles of evidence that match a cat's existence.
