When -- or if -- NASA finds life on Mars, the world may not be ready for the discovery, the agency chief says

(CNN)NASA's next mission to Mars will be its most advanced yet. But if scientists discover there was once life -- or there is life --on the Red Planet, will the public be able to handle such an extraterrestrial concept?

NASA chief scientist Jim Green doesn't think so.


"It will be revolutionary," Green told the Telegraph. "It will start a whole new line of thinking. I don't think we're prepared for the results. We're not."

I wonder what he thinks people would do if told there is life on other planets. It's really no big deal. Once the Hubble went up and we learned how vast the universe is how could one say life doesn't exist any where else?
