What Was Once Old-Nay, 'Very Old' is New Again
The meteorite discovered at Alan Hills, Antarctica on December 27, 1984, tagged ALH 84001, which was later determined to be from the planet Mars became the focus of a heated debate over ten years later; in 1996, (after sitting on a shelf for a decade) a press conference took place where a group of NASA scientists, supported by three universities and lead by Dr. David S. McKay announced to the world, that "evidence of primitive life once lived on the red planet."
To no one's surprise, this caused ripples throughout the scientific community, and a rift quickly emerged. In lay terms what McKay the opposition said the result could be caused by other means.
Carl Sagan was quick to denounce the theorem stating:"The findings are evocative and very exciting; however, the chemical compounds reported in the paper 'are not evidence of life...'"As one might imagine, the announcement had many collateral effects: talk of "manned missions to Mars" became prevalent; although I haven't checked, I think it's safe to say that UFO sightings probably increased. It's certain, that no matter one's title in this trek we call life, the notion that we are not alone gave everyone pause to a certain degree.
Second Look
In spite of the impact of the revelation, like all things-this too passed into history... that is, until just recently. It seems that Dr. McKay has got back on the proverbial horse and is espousing a new analysis technique, called "ion beam milling."
