NASA Announces New form of Life Found

 It had been thought that without six certain essential elements -- carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur -- life could not exist.

This discovery shows "life-as-we-know-it could be much more flexible than we generally assume or can imagine," says Felisa Wolfe-Simon a NASA biochemist. Here is the video of NASA's announcement from earlier today. Click here >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urijDWVKVA4
