I think that's a bad perspective, no one cares if a pen last 50000 years, we "want it * to degrade A pen that biodegrades in 5 years under landfill conditions is far better for our needs that a pen that last 100 years

Oh, it most certainly isn't multicellular life, just bacterium floating in the high air currents of Venusian atmosphere synthesizing acids or light into energy and excreting phosphine and other things as a result

I am sooo incredibly hyped, this is it, it has to be life, no other paths to phosphine without life are known on that scale Also, it is probably panspermia from Eartg too!! Call me dull, but I see 0 chance what so ever that it developed n
