Would this make them reconsider if it is a planet or just a giant oversized rock? Humans suddenly inhabiting a moon is a different situation. Its also different if there is evidence of life found on an asteroid or comet. I'm meaning a rock which is on the borderline between not being a planet and being a planet.
