    OK... Serious question here: we find "life" (algae?) on one of Saturn's moons or one of Jupiter's moons. So, we spend ~$50 Billion (arguably much more) and find "life". So? Why is this important to people? There isn't one chance in (place your own word here) that we can do anything about it or even send humans there. Seriously want to know what people really think...

      Thanks to the 2nd most hated man alive, it doesn't cost nearly this much to get to space anymore.

        And the thousands of people that actually did the work.
