Microbial life.

What's your prediction?

Edit: What's your hope?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Or maybe that the core is still kind of alive.

If it's microbial life, I'm gonna be super-skeptical.

I'd be so psyched if this turns out to be the case.

No, it's probably going to be chemical precursors or some other life-related chemistry that makes NASA and other science-literate people very excited about future possibilities... but which means nothing to Average Joe, and so gets a ten second blurb.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Given recent budget constraints, I'm going to go with...

Red dirt Shock Oh man, it's gonna be huge!
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

My dad pretending to make the announcement when I told him about it earlier: "It's closer than we thought. We got it wrong. It's Earth's really small red moon."
