Very cool find op this is not the first fossil that has been found though from space this has been archived multiple times, i'm not even sure why people think it's a logical debate that there is no other life in space.

Hmm, he isn't? Who is, then?
And if it's not a fossilized diatom, then what do you propose it is?

I do know that such an unequivocal claim based strictly on what something looks like is not a very scientific approach...

Let's be honest, that thing is not mineral.
So, it all hinges on the origins of the meteorite.

So, I take it you have access to the meteorite, have done your own extensive scientific testing to determine it is not mineral? If not, than it's just your opinion, and cannot be stated as fact, let's be honest, please.
I still have not seen any independent confirmation/tests that were done by a qualified lab that is not associated with either the publication in question or the scientists in question. Until that is done, and verified, everything stated is subjective and cannot be really confirmed. That's how science, true science, is done.
Anything less is quackery, in my opinion.
If someone showed you this and explained to you it was a fossil from a layer of rock somewhere on Earth, you'd never question it. That's why I say: Let's be honest.

Could that have something to do with the fact that such fossils are abundant on earth and unprecedented within meteorites?
And do you know for a fact that the "meteorite" in question is not a terrestrial rock?
Let's be honest.

You totally underline my point: It sure looks like a life-form. Thus the question can more or less be isolated to:
What are the origins of the meteorite?

I'm sorry, your point is too convoluted for me to understand.
Edit: So now Chandra is 'some guy on the internet?'
