(1) this is cool (2) lol at the framing of "molecule can almost do important thing"
RNA strand that can almost self-replicate may be key to life's origins
Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this

AWESOME technical goal. This is exactly the direction to go on this problem, and worth taking a risk on.
