The shipping costs must make Trappist beers astronomically expensive :lol:
On a more serious note what a great discovery. Answering a question brings up so many more questions.
Our thirst for knowledge (and beer) shows no bounds.

I'm very surprised how little attention this has gotten. To me its massive, and like you said, opens up so many questions.

Yet I never saw it get higher than 12th on Twitters trending.

A measure of quick fix news and instant gratification. This is tremendous, but lacks any closure in the short term.

Pragmatically, I'd be amazed if they discover evidence of life. .
