Not as big of a deal when you think we sent men to the moon with far less processing than what's in my cell phone.
Imagine how much money we could have saved by just shooting a new iPhone at Pluto...

For microbes to be responsible for the dark material found on the comet, they would need to be able to survive in some extremely harsh conditions. All of the water on the comet is solid ice or vapor, and the average surface temperature is –70oC (–94oF). It would take some very hardy microbes to survive on this freezing space rock.
That is awesome. Will it get any closer or go to the Kuiper Belt?
I feel (as a layperson) like if there are hardy species like these on Earth, why couldn't there be even more hardy organisms where selective pressures would require it?
That's good because the pictures so far are not exactly mind blowing
