>     There should be fossils on the Moon. 

    Absolutely not one iota of scientific evidence to back this
    statement up. You can think what you like but science doesn't say
    it's so. 

>     NASA will be starting a base there before 2020 

    I'd love to see this happen, but frankly I don't think there's much
    chance of this either. Far more likely is a base started by a
    private company or another country who doesn't have citizens who
    dislike taxation so much. 

    I expressed an opinion that I would be very surprised if
    micro-fossils were not found on Mars etc. given that microbes live
    miles below us in rock. 

    This should be proven with the latest Mars lander but to date all
    speculation on this subject is just that: speculation. None of this,
    of course, resolves the issue of pricing of rocks from the moon with
    or without fossils since none are currently available. You can't
    establish appraisal prices on something that isn't based on reality,
    but merely on wishful thinking. Appraisal prices are based on actual
    sales of similar items. There are no similar items, hence no way to
    establish a price. 

    There was a recent op ed article in the Boston Globe on why no other
    life has been found other than on Earth. Basically it said that if
    life was found elsewhere it meant we were doomed. I can't remember
    enough to go into details but you might want to troll through their
    archives for this. It was printed within the last few weeks.
