Yesterday, NASA announced that analysis of soil samples collected by its Curiosity rover show that all the chemical building blocks for life as we know it exist on Mars. It's a stupendous discovery. Coupled with a powerful case for a warmer, wetter Mars in the past, the potential for finding life beyond Earth has never been higher.
The next big governing question may be: Does life arise easily when all the basics are present, or is it the result of a serendipidous process?
