If we found life on Mars, or Titan, or Europa, (or anywhere) this would be my (basic) questions:

Does the organism have a DNA (similar) structure?

Yes

Does the DNA have common genes with Earth's life tree?

Yes - then I suspect panspermia

No - then this adds evidence that DNA may be a common form in the universe for genetic information transfer

No

Wholly Krap! This opens up the ball game of life wide open!
