Socially it is something different: an attempt to keep a years-long trust issue measurable.
When Mars and life are in the same cup, the imagination immediately moves forward. Yet science is slow here: a molecule is not a microbe, a signal is not proof, and an exciting discovery must first go through a lot of doubt.
