Re: [asa] Why I hope the search for extraterrestrial life finds nothing.

Interesting read. Thanks. But there is one caveat to overcome before
reaching conclusions about the Great Filter. From Craig Venter (the genome
guy):

"We exchange roughly a hundred kilograms of material annually with Mars. So
we're exchanging biological material and biological information. To me it's
just a matter of time until life is found on Mars. It's inevitable. It won't
tell us whether it originated on Mars, or originated on Earth, but there'll
be common overlap."
