So they found new microbes ... on Earth?

That was rather anti-climactic.

No shit.

It's still pretty significant for our understanding of how life can survive. It really shows us how complex and amazing the universe is.

As opposed to the universe being a simplistic unsurprising expanse?

As opposed to life existing in predictable places that we would normally expect to see it in. There's suggestions that the universe could potentially be as boundless in diversity as our imaginations.

I compare this story to the tube worms that survive at temperatures and pressures that it was thought all life would perish. Now we have life surviving in poison.

I've always maintained there is life on Uranus which, as we all know, is gaseous.
