The discovery I thought was potentially huge regarding life here on earth. As for alien life, with a universe that is approaching infinity I have always believed that somewhere there must be alien life forms -- the cumulative effects of nearly infinite small probabilities simply demands it -- we're just too primitive to have unearthed (pun intended) them.
