This is the second time I’ve heard this reference. It’s going over my head. Where’s it from?

Data from space missions is open for the scrutiny of every researcher and citizen scientist, right? It's good to have those things open so everyone can check.

I can't wait until we find that it's just molecules or maybe a simple replicating cell or two and we can be done with this "omg, ALIEEN LIFFFE" crap.
