Because you get public support, and hence funding, as long as you search for life. Not sure that anyone at those organizations cares about that question, it looks more like an obsession of the public and the media.

- inflatableDodo 7y agoWhy is it that some people think that scientists are all lying about their motives for money? Scientists tend, on the whole, to be fairly bright. Hightly technical people who have money as their objective, are generally not working at the sharp end of highly speculative research. I know one of the UK experts on glide characteristics of hypersonic vehicles, he refuses to work military but sometimes gets consulted by NASA on aerodynamic assisted slingshot concepts. He makes a living as a driving instructor.
- aasasd 7y agoYou might want to point as to where in my previous comment I said that someone in those orgs is not bright. And then to suggest how, being bright as a thousand suns, you would obtain fancy space rovers if you say “I want to check out moon chemistry” and the public goes “pffft.”
- inflatableDodo 7y agoYou have this somewhat arse about tit. There's a lot more money available for looking at the moon's chemistry than there is for looking for life on it.
