- dalke 11y agoQuoting clearf from the previous link to this, which was only 5 hours ago: "The rebuttal: http://www.theguardian.com/science/across-the-universe/2015/jul/06/no-alien-life-on-philae-comet" http://www.theguardian.com/science/across-the-universe/2015/... That ends with: > Planetary scientist Professor Dave Rothery of the Open University posted in a comment on Facebook, “The Guardian and the RAS disgraced themselves today with the ‘top scientists’ argue case for life on comet’ piece today. I’ve just sat through the talk behind the press release and I think it fair to say that the audience was polite but entirely unconvinced. Diatoms [a type of micro-organism] in comets, my arse!” Moreover, that rebuttal link was submitted on HN 14 hours ago, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9842364 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9842364.
