Nah. Scientists as a last resort will eat the bacteria in their petri dishes if they had to to continue the crazed and suicidal pursuit of knowledge.
But NASA has been on the backend of political clout recently and their funding down the tube. Any grasps for money will help the organization stay afloat.

So NASA DID find life on Earth.
I'm curious as to why they need funding to go into space when they seem happy to poke around all manner of nasty crevices here.

There are many who agree.
There is still a lot of ocean depths unplumbed
Far more unfathomable are the minds of many a minion on this planet.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
