The emotional journey of species discovery varies wildly by profession! Biologists get that dopamine hit of scientific glory. Scuba divers are like "cool, but will it eat me?" And astronauts? Pure existential terror. Nothing says "we might not be alone after all" quite like finding life where humans have no business surviving. The deep ocean is scary enough, but space? That's a whole new level of "please don't have tentacles." No wonder NASA has protocols for extraterrestrial microbes—they've seen the same sci-fi movies we have!
