Although issues of interplanetary contamination may seem fantastic, they force us to confront the limits of our knowledge about life and where it might thrive. Some prominent scientists have criticized “planetary protection” as based on dubious science, but there is humility and wisdom in this approach. It is true that if our current concepts of biology are correct, then there is virtually no possibility that an alien organism, not adapted for this world, could dangerously out-compete the locals who are marvelously fit to survive here...

In an offer that would change Gilley's life, Cryer said he would pay Gilley half the profits for playing six nights a week--and convinced the dubious musician that the club should be named Gilley...
