So what? It's not like you're ever going to any of those amazing places in space articles, and in the unlikely event you get to Mars, you're not going to encounter any megafauna (although I'm hopeful future generations might find something on Europa).

Don't forget that I started with Much as I love science.... Trying to dazzle me with something I'm already abundantly familiar with won't work.
