I think we should declare it an enemy planet

With such an important discovery on Enceladus, NASA wants to move on to study Tacous and Burritous in more detail.

Weird science week closes out today with news from NASA. The Cassini spacecraft has identified liquid water on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. It’s the first time liquid water has been found on any body in the Solar system besides Earth. Its presence elevates previously uninteresting Enceladus to the top of the list of places astronomers expect may harbor extra-terrestrial life.

I don’t have to explain how potentially important that discovery would be.

Update: Not to be outdone, Mars has fired back and reasserted itself near the top of said list. Material believed to be formed by ancient microbes has been found inside a Martian meteorite. This is the second time a Mars rock has offered evidence the planet once harbored life. The first has been widely debated by scientists and accepted by many, though of course attacked by the wacko Christian set, who as we all know has a credible track record on such matters.
