The way that the media is hyping it is wrong, of course, since science reporting sucks.

But in terms of its importance to biology, this is absolutely freaking huge. I can’t think of a discovery since the discovery of the structure of DNA that is equivalent to it.

It tells us earth life is even more adaptable than we thought, but we keep learning that over and over again as more extremophiles are found around volcanic vents and such.
