Honestly, no. I just wouldn’t find that all that big a deal. That might shock you, but I’m serious. What would it change here in everyday life? Nothing really.

“I think if it’s true it will be one of the most important discoveries in history.”

Actually it’s real importance would be determined by what it effectively changes here on earth in everyday life. And if it changes little or nothing, then it ultimately isn’t that important.

“Some will greet it with excitement and some with dread.”

Maybe. But what will it actually EFFECT? And is that even the announcement NASA will make?
