President Obama, however, has made it very clear that, should little beings be found out there, they will immediately become his top priority.
Indeed, in a phone call today with the Curiosity team, the President revealed that the first question he is being asked about the mission is whether Martians have already been found.
One can imagine that, even if they had been found, it is unlikely that the President would say: “Oh, sure. They’re coming the White House for tea next week.”
But, in praising the work of all those who were part of the Curiosity rover project, the President was keen to make them understand that he would not sit idly by, should otherworldly life be found.
