water

why is water such a key element  to finding life on other planets?
i understand that water is vital on this planet for supporting life. that is a given, even though there are animals that can survive with little water.
But we have grown and evolved on a planet that can and does support life through the medium of water. in the absence of water would a life form find another way to exist, and prevail. to quote an unrelated film, "life always finds a way".

i'm new to 'blogs' i know of 'Joe Bloggs' but i am aware there is a large difference between the fictional character and what i am doing. I figure i will use this to view and vent my feelings and thoughts. i want to start by apologising for any spelling mistakes that i make.
i have no real agenda nor purpose to this blog, i just thought i would start one.
