So, has NASA actually found life out there?
 
News conference on Thursday. Could be interesting:

NASA - NASA Sets News Conference on Astrobiology Discovery; Science Journal Has Embargoed Details Until 2 p.m. EST On Dec. 2

Better start brushing up on your Klingon.

Eh. Probably more AGW stuff.

looneybin 11-30-2010 06:17 PM

maybe they are going to announce that the Beatles are going to be played on the space station

RWebb 11-30-2010 06:19 PM

the more important question:

Has life out there somewhere found us?

NASA is probably going to announce our surrender.

red-beard 11-30-2010 06:30 PM

NASA is French?

crustychief 11-30-2010 06:46 PM

nope, Muslim.

I hope it's a gaggle of those green chicks from star trek.

RWebb 11-30-2010 07:26 PM

the surrender to the space aliens reduces the amount of Soylent Green we all have to eat.

now, what sort of space aliens would be way out on the edge of things?
- poor, starving ones of course

Let me guess..

They found a meteorite with fossils inside it....



What do I win?

HardDrive 11-30-2010 08:29 PM

I do hope they found Commander Deanna Troi. Nude.

That already happened, although there has been disagreement about it.

Close-up of a Mars meteorite, showing
what some have argued appears to be
fossilized evidence of ancient microbial life.

Note added May 5, 2010: The NASA team that made the original discovery of
fossil-like structures in a meteorite from Mars now has new evidence. At a NASA conference
on astrobiology, David McKay claimed that the highlighted object in
the image below is a "biomorph," a fossil of a once-living bacterium.

Updates to Martian Fossils on Earth? by Fred Bortz

I wish the Apollo (moon walker) crew had had just one jester.

The entire planet watches as they frolic, jump, run, kick up dust, hit golf balls 17 miles, drive the moon-rover ...then one walks over, bends to pick up something, camera zooms in to his gloved hand ...it's an arrowhead! :p

Check WikiLeaks, they probably already know.

My family pulled a similar stunt on me when I was a kid. My uncle lived on the edge of the Civil War battlefield at Fredericksburg, VA and told me we'd go out in the woods with his metal detector and find some old bullets. And we did. But it seemed just a little too easy and quick. I finally got up the nerve to ask my mom a few mos. ago if they had planted them and she said yes. She said at the tender age of 38, it was probably time to tell me. I think was about five when they did this.

Hey Rick, there isn't a Santa Clause.

Yes, I was already suspicious back then. But I was pretty sure there was a Civil War, with a lot of it fought in VA. And my uncle's street being called Battle Park Dr. in Fredericksburg was also pretty convincing. It was a perfect scam.

I'm still waiting for NASA to find intelligent life on THIS planet!

Sounds like it might all be in Arizona and Texas.

it's less than that. I guessing they found evidence of arsenic on one of ther martian moons, and hypothisized that it's possible there is bacteria living on that arsenic.

Talk about a life-altering discovery!

They're going to announce that the entire next project they do will be funded solely on Sammy's tax money. They've been sequestering it and saving it just for this moment.

They know how much you love having NASA around, and they want to reward you in this way.
