Another tidbit for the ongoing show 
Nasa anounces a very important astrobiological press release scheduled for december 2nd. Usually when they make this much fuzz it turns out they found something big like ice or water. But the relevant pundits here all seem to be experts on astro biology. So maybe they found evidence for a chemical compound that can be considered a smoking gun for life.
