Just want to note the insanely amazing discoveries with regarding to alien life in 2022 that are not getting enough credit and even such a famous guy does not seem to be familiar with them.<br> 1. We do know chemical process behind the RNA formation now. (this is the ONLY step in life formation that was considered chemically unlikely, but it is not anymore)<br>  2. We have direct light absorption of an exoplanet atmosphere with extremely clear water peaks from James Web (much more stuff to be published any day now)<br>  3. Substantial evidence for microbial life in solar system, Phosphene in Venus's atmosphere (on top of the old Soviet evidence) and Enceledes methane.
