That is an exciting possibility! It changes the concept of 'life as we know it' to a fascinating extent, because it means that lifeforms may very well exist in environments that were previously considered unfit for life. It makes me wish I could live long enough to learn what we'll find out there someday.
I actually wrote an essay on this exact thing for school once (and people thought I was crazy)
Quote:"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. "
