When I read a news title “Water Found on Distant Planet”, It didn’t go in my little head why this people are searching for water on “distant” planet when we already have lot of water on the earth. Thanks to TIME, I didn’t use much “horsepower” of my brain because the title was immediately followed by “Call it one giant leap for mankind's search for life on other planets”. I am not a “scientist” but I firmly believe that when we image about ET life, we should use extra wide approach also because life may not always come with water. NASA is spending hell lot of money to find water on the other planets, but a day will come when somebody will come with the proof of life without water on earth itself. And at that time we may really think that we have enough water on the Earth :-) Happy living …

And you thought they are looking for water because they can bring some back and reduce the shortage here ?!! Man, you are simply awesome.. Keep up the thinking

Finally, some people are thinking in right direction (i.e. broadening the view angle and looking into many directions).
Excerpt from above article:
"Another breakthrough is the discovery that life on Earth has proven able to colonise its most extreme environments. If life can survive and evolve there, scientists reason, then perhaps nowhere is out of bounds."
