Glad they are looking, but a wider look may help
TheUniquePerception10 April 2018
Scientists have locked themselves in a box. They repeat like a skipping record. "We are looking for life". They mean life like what we see on Earth but slightly different. What they are really seeking is consciousness. It may not come in forms anything like what we see on Earth. It may not require water at all. The trick will be to discover a consciousness that may not resemble anything we have ever seen on Earth. It may not be a plant or animal. If scientists can open their minds a bit more they will be surprised at what they are able to discover. Or at least how it changes the search process.

Extrapolation with imagination on steroids.
indiapaige18 April 2019
If you place a group of overgrown boys (w/PhDs in science fields) in the same room together with an assignment to use unrestricted imaginary descriptives of the alien worlds they'd like to see, based only on earths carbon based life's Darwian evolution, this might be the consensus best expressed for video production. The fictional universe of Extraterrestrial Alien Worlds two part series is a milky-way galaxy spanning hodgepodge of primitive interacting extraterrestrial plant and animal forms. The technological level in the series was advanced enough at the time, though often unreliable. Accepting a shared premiss that intelligent life is a fluke found rarely and certainoy not in these worlds of our galaxy. The result is convergence of over-extrapolation, ethnocentric imagnations full bore and slippery slope argument. Kids under ten years will likely enjoy the imaginary creatures, originality.
