re: terrestrial analog to the bacteria thought to exist as fossils inside a Martian meteorite found
Australian scientists, and their dog, say life once existed on Mars
Strange that all the sources for this seem to be Australian. I have several others with the .au suffix that aren't working. Maybe the worm got them. At any rate I tend to be skeptical when the main stream space sites aren't announcing it. This is why I didn't post thise earlier. I've already established that Spacedaily doesn't intentionally have high standards for what it publishes eventhough most of what it publishes is good stuff.
