I think that would be excellent material for an intergalactic ambassador if Earth ever needed one.
That, however, is the thing that's statistically implausible. We probably won't meet any intelligent alien race. I mean ever, as a mankind.

Even if it's a few microbes it's definitely a milestone in human discovery and scientific understanding.
Why do people insist that would be that ground-breaking? I mean, on what basis? Let's say they did find water and microbes on Mars, and they turn out to be really similar to what we've got on Earth, nothing that would be really outstanding if it was found here. Will the humanity stand up all together waving hands and shouting "Yay for microbes!"?
