WATER ON MARS!!!

I don't get it...the way I see it, if lightning strikes the same sea 40,000 times, and you've already got the amino acids in place, then SOMETHING will happen, something WILL...come alive.
Humans are SO scared fucking SHITLESS that there could be life elsewhere.
Well wait! STOP!!!!!!! Think about this! We're here! And how many TRILLIONS (I feel safe in ranking it in trillions!) of other life forms are on JUST THIS planet.
And we are so goddamn ARROGANT as to believe that JUST THIS PLANET IS IT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Oh thank gods we don't have all those images of distant galaxies from the Huddle Telescope...

This January 14, 2011 image from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show channels on the Martian surface that are from 1 meter to 10 meters (approximately 3 feet to 33 feet) wide on a scarp in the Hellas impact basin. On Earth we would call these gullies. Some larger channels on Mars that are sometimes called gullies are big enough to be called ravines on Earth. Scientists have spotted dark stripes on some slopes on Mars in the warmer months, and they believe it may be evidence of flowing salt water, NASA researchers said on August 4, 2011. If confirmed, it would be the first discovery of active liquid water in the ground on Mars. Finger-like markings have shown up along several steep slopes in the middle latitudes of Mars' southern hemisphere, fading again once colder temperatures move in, according to data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
