This is exciting! Even if its not microbes its a fascinating find & a win for science.

Though I hate how a someone remotely piloting science experiments via a rover on friggin' mars has to worry about how "NASA needs this win". What is the point of humanity if we don't explore our universe! I find it it so frustrating.

I hope that one day, science can be a goal on it's own. Not just to gain profit or funding.

a goal on its* own

From the point of view of the universe, humanity has no point beyond what ants or elephants do on Earth.

But yeah. From the point of view of humanity, I agree with you. Having said that, Nasa is not the only agency exploring space.
