But what about other forms of life? (Score 1)

The article had one interesting thing of note; it said that the planets have the possibility of containing liquid H2O, deemed necessary for life. But isn't it possible for forms of life to exist not dependant upon water. Life on earth is based on water, but these are planets in an entirely different solar system. Who's to say that life there is anything similar (in appearance, chemistry, and so on) to life here on earth. Maybe other possiblities should be considered when we look for life.
