You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed them, I trust others on the MR-Blog with a scientific bent will read these articles also and continue with their personal exploration of knowledge gathering.
I was particularly interested in the writings from these 3 titles: Is There Life in Alpha Centauri?, Galactic Habitable Zones and Cycles of Diversity. I found these to be highly thought provoking articles for further study, personally of course. In fact one can now garn thoughts of life-types in the universe, or at least starting in one's own galaxy, a subject that has always impressed me and held my interest high since I was a boy. I am preparing some thoughts about it for a later thread in 'Space Exploration', perhaps in the next few weeks. Martian microbes, if they exist, have never held my interest, that's for microbiologist's and their take on microscopic things, too clinical for me, not that its not important, don't get me wrong, any microscopic living organisms, if any on Mars, produce larger organisms, I don't imagine either on Mars. Phoenix may tell us something about that, perhaps conclusively.
Always a pleasure reading your finds also.
