Re: I agree with Bruce.
How will anyone find it (life, precious minerals, new or old energy reservoirs), if they don't start looking? If that's what you mean by taking a gamble, so be it... I'm all for it... always have been and I'm glad some in the business of technology and science have had some success and as some have stated, additional questions have come about.
(another good post, imho)
