Actually we do know.
Most precursors to life have been found in asteroids.
Life is everywhere in the universe, we are just too tiny and incapable to know that.
Edit: also too fucking arrogant. It is very clear to anybody with a scientific mind that has paid any sort of attention, we, like everything else, are products of exploding stars. There is not one single thing unique about Earth.
Precursors aren't life. I agree life is somewhat abundant in the universe, but amino acids on an asteroid is not life.
great point man, people downvoting you for nothing lol. are they earth worshippers.
It's all the flat earthers who lurk in this community.
I will believe this when you can point to the planet our life came from.
NASA goes to obscene lengths to sterilize spacecraft, but once people start going all bets are off. I doubt there would be any meaningful results from such an experiment before human explorers arrive.
Even when humans are getting on the rocket everything is assembled in a clean room. Human skin oils do not mix well with stuff in space, so they dont like to get it on anything that moves, or holds, or even looks like it might do something that has a purpose.
Filthy humanses.
We can name in the A.c.h.o.o., which stands for achoo, and it's just Earl going in and out of the airlock and sneezing at planets.
That's how weird space religions that worship sneezes are born.
Praise the Great Green Arkleseizure!
The end is nigh! The coming of The Great White Handkerchief is upon us!
I mean, it sounds like a very expensive way to kill some earth-based life.
This is absolute fucking horseshit.
Honestly, the content and quality of this sub has reached the point where I'm just leaving.
Or, hear me out, filter posts with URLs from iflscience, sciworthy, etc.
