He hits it on the head.
From the posted article;
"The failure to pursue Nasa's highest priority (the search for life in the solar system), and the goal Nasa once described as "probably the greatest experiment in the history of science," cannot be logically explained. It results from Nasa's fear of finding out that its original conclusion about Viking was wrong, supplemented by philosophical and religious elements who insist, for
non-scientific reasons, there can be no life elsewhere but Earth."
Freak out, far out.
