Speaking of unusual life, If you've spent much time examining the "rocks" from the Mars Pathfinder and Spirit rovers, you must come to the conclusion that something truly alien is going on. I've decided that 80% or more of these "rocks" are alive in some sense (silicon based, powered by diurnal thermal differences or solar peroxidation?). After a while you can see the patterns of similar looking rocks which seem to ooze appendages, climb on top of one another and just behave in bizarre ways that rocks don't. It's hard to describe since English has no words for these shapes. I've come up with a few, like "stuffed duffelbag" and others on http://turbotip.webhop.net (which hasn't been updated for years). I think the time scale of these lifeforms is very much slower than terrestrial life, since motion isn't seen in most cases from day to day.
If you want to peruse these, download the Java programs from http://midnightmarsbrowser.blogspot.com and get all the images for Spirit. ("Opportunity" is in a desert and not interesting). Some of these images show what looks like construction debris, old machinery, building foundations, roads etc. There is also plenty of evidence of civilizations on Mars also from the orbital cameras also. I don't think you'll find any useful technology there as their reality is very different from ours. They do use right hand threaded screws and box beams rather than I beams.

What does nano-metabolism look like if it can be a "parasite" on But I'm just speculating. If nanobacteria play roles in various reactions which we currently consider to be purely inorganic, then it wouldn't be so impossible to see if this is true: just run the reactions under truely sterile conditions. (Figure out some bio-toxin which wipes them out.) I think the reason we currently consider the reactions to be inorganic is because we don't see any organisms (since they're 300nM and smaller,) and the reactions run the same even if all the materials were "sterilized" by heat. Wouldn't it be cool if many simple electrochem reactions (batteries, electroplating) refused to work if they lacked nanobactrial surface catalysts? > According to Reich, nanobacteria, or something similar, can be > produced by placing beach sand, previously heated to incandescence on > sterile growth medium, in a orgone accumulator.
