Study: Simple Life Forms are Common throughout Universe

So where is it?
I have no problem with life elsewhere, but this is just more guesswork. Your title is misleading. It should read "Simple Life forms could be common throughout the universe"
It sure isn't in our solar system as far as we can tell.

NASA scientists are going out on a limb and saying they expect to find evidence for life elsewhere in the solar system in 20 or 30 years, based I think on this kind of evidence and the fact they are putting together probes that should be able to detect such life. We have no real idea if that will happen of course, but the trend is in that direction for sure. Time will tell. I don't see the point in trying to predict what we'll find, but the evidence is getting stronger that we can expect to find life in this solar system, and I think we should try to prove it out.
However, IF we do find microbial life say on Mars, that puts an entirely different sort of a spin on the idea of manned exploration of Mars, or any sort of sample/return mission. We would need to determine, rather forcefully I would think, that such 'microbes' could pose no danger to the Earth's biosphere.
JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
