Why in the world is NASA (Aeronautics and Space) wasting their precious resources investigating the origins of life? Does that make their ships fly faster or straighter? Sounds like NASA has turned into a completely leftist wing of our government. What a shame, espcially thinking back to their glory days of pencil necked geeks with pocket protectors and slide rules figuring out how to get men to and from the moon. Sad, really.
Where they working on this instead of making sure they used metric, not Imperial units, when that lander crashed a few years ago?
