...loss of much of its moisture and surface heat. Still, the place was warm and wet long enough for life to have taken hold - life that would have then had to retreat into underground water deposits and make the same kind of hurry-up adaptation Mikucki's microbes did. Similar adaptive metabolism could be in evidence on the Jovian moon Europa, where a layer of surface ice may cover a globe-girdling ocean. (See pictures of Mars' patterns...

Changes that might seem dubious in isolation make more sense when viewed as part of what Gates calls his "holistic assessment." The argument that the Air Force needs more F-22 fighters loses some of its punch once you learn that Gates wants to boost production of the $100 million-a-copy F-35 fighter...
