Given the political climate re science and life, a website run for lawyers might be the safe place to publish. The idea of the US government (via nasa) looking for life elsewhere than earth rubs certain people the wrong way, people with political power.
Since there’s no such thing as 100% proof in science, when and who gets to “call it” that the signs of life have been discovered outside of Earth? Presumably NASA, but how do they decide?
Shouldn't this link directly to the paper in question, instead of... Shuffles papers... Courthousenews?
The paper might contain too much jargon for lawyers.
