The picture of the little girl praying really grabs my heart.

The search for ET continues, as you can see if you check out the New Scientist Space. There are a couple of articles over there right now speculating about extraterrestrial life, and the possibility of water on Mars…
A new analysis of pictures taken by the exploration rover Opportunity reveals what appear to be small ponds of liquid water on the surface of Mars.
The report identifies specific spots that appear to have contained liquid water two years ago, when Opportunity was exploring a crater called Endurance. It is a highly controversial claim, as many scientists believe that liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars today because of the planet’s thin atmosphere.
If confirmed, the existence of such ponds would significantly boost the odds that living organisms could survive on or near the surface of Mars, says physicist Ron Levin, the report’s lead author, who works in advanced image processing at the aerospace company Lockheed Martin in Arizona.
My guess is they can find pondscum throughout the universe, but human beings will always be unique.
