In any case, all of the talk of Martian fossils and life helped lift Mars into the forefront making it easier to justify all of the missions taking place there. In my opinion, ALH84001 and the scientists who studied it are mostly responsible for the renewed interest in Mars. Here is a link to a recent article on NWA 998: http://skymania.com/wp/2010/04/new-meteorite-clues-to-life-on-mars.html Best Regards, Adam ----- Original Message ---- From: Meteorites USA <eric at meteoritesusa.com> To: meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com Sent: Sat, August 21, 2010 12:15:39 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] WAS Cyanobacteria in meteorites? NOW: Life in Meteorites Perhaps... But, are you referring to the "Orgueil" meteorite claim of fossilized bacteria, Murchison, or the whole claim of fossilized microbial life in meteorites all together? We already know that microbial life can survive in space. The question is for how long. The conclusion sounds accurate enough to say... Plausible: Life is not restricted to Earth, nor is there evidence that says empirically that life could NOT survive in the harshness of space. In fact there is more evidence that suggested it's probable than not. Based on the fact that it has already been observed that life can survive in space without the insulative protection that asteroid, meteoroid, or ejecta material could provide. Look at this: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/1998/ast01sep98_1/#anchor179666 Granted that's only 2.6 years, and we brought it back to Earth. What's to say it wouldn't have survived in the camera longer if left alone, or if it were cocooned within the safe confines of a meteoroid or asteroid that it couldn't survive for millions of years. There's an interesting article on survival of microbes in space in the Journal of Cosmology titled "Microbial Survival Mechanisms and the Interplanetary Transfer of Life Through Space." http://journalofcosmology.com/Panspermia9.html And the Plausibility of Martian Microbes - Which was posted/linked to on the Met-List in 2004 http://www.mail-archive.com/meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com/msg21972.html Original Article: http://www.astrobio.net/pressrelease/941/plausibility-of-martian-microbes Also good reads from LPI, NASA, and Astrobiology Magazine. Fossil Life in ALH 84001? http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lpi/meteorites/life.html Evidence of Ancient Martian Life in Meteorite ALH84001? http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/marslife.html And these articles on extremophiles and other extreme life propagating environs: http://www.astrobio.net/hottopic_origins_extremelife.php The evidence of life transfer from reputable sources is growing. The more we learn about meteorites the more we realize that they are the key to understanding everything.
