Today at 2 p.m. Eastern NASA held a special press conference where astrobiologists confirmed that they had uncovered bacteria that was comprised of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and instead of phosphorus as the sixth element it used arsenic. This may not seem like a big deal to most people, but this proves that just because there may not be another planet out there like Earth where humans can survive, there may be a lifeform that is not similar to a human that can survive in different environments.
So Smogon, what does this discovery mean to you? Do you think that there might be life out there outside of Earth?
