Alas and alack, it all came to naught!
ALL comes to naught!??! We've been to what... one moon? And sent probes to what... one other planet and a few scattered rocks? We've barely even scratched the surface of the solar system let alone the UNIVERSE. Do you have any notion of just how BIG the universe is dinsdale?
I'm pretty sure dinsdale here is referring to the single meteorite which some cranks claimed they had found 'bacteria fossils', and published their findings on a website called 'journal of cosmology'... And the story broke on Fox..
He is right, it was all bull, bacteria doesn't fossilize ffs.. And the meteorite story vanished after a million scientists ripped it to pieces..
More on the story here..
