Quote:

WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.

I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

I will tune in!

History will soon be re-written.. sort of.

LeAnn · 12-01-2010, 01:28 AM

My vote is for rock people

Batman1980 · 12-01-2010, 01:31 AM

My vote is for xenomorphs that will eat everyone.

chefazn · 12-01-2010, 01:32 AM

Invasion!!

MaCruz · 12-01-2010, 01:32 AM

This is the first signs of 2012!

Never A Straight Answer, yeah looking forward to them announcing 'space based lifeforms' then make out we need to weaponise space. Nasa is in my youtube friends, which I found so funny]

The lies that this agency have dealt out will haunt them.

Saw this on reddit a couple days ago, could be interesting.... will be staying tuned.

Guesses?

Did they crack the code that was coming back from The Voyager 2 space probe?

Microbes on Mars?

Did we find our own Garthok to narfle?

DonRSD · 12-01-2010, 02:08 PM

have they found "Pandora"?? lol

the blue people are coming that are 9 feet tall and have 4 fingers

in all honesty....something HAS to be out there.
ive always thought that when an alien comes to earth they are humans, but advanced about 20k years.
they have better tech, maybe have evolved to have 1 eye or 3 fingers and can travel at the speed of light.

Here are 4 possible things they could discuss during the conference:

1) They found non-carbon based microbiological life on Mars, in samples...HUGE news ... but doubt it.

2) The Cassini Satellite picked up Saturn's moon, Rhea's atmosphere as having oxygen and carbon dioxide. Speculation is whether life exists in some very strange, very cold form and requires further investigation.

3) Something to do with exoplanets, possibly the discovery of a new exoplanet that could sustain life. Specifically, they discovered oxygen and water signatures on a planet in another system.

4) They've discovered arsenic on Saturn's moon, Titan and maybe even detected chemical evidence of bacteria utilizing it for photosynthesis (by following the elements).

Here is someone's research on the news conference participants:

1. Pamela Conrad (a geobiologist) was the primary author of a 2009 paper on geology and life on Mars

2. Felisa Wolfe-Simon (an oceanographer) has written extensively on photosynthesis using arsenic recently (she worked on the team mentioned in this article)

3. Steven Benner (a biologist) is on the "Titan Team" at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory; they're looking at Titan (Saturn's largest moon) as an early-Earth-like chemical environment. This is likely related to the Cassini mission.

4. James Elser (an ecologist) is involved with a NASA-funded astrobiology program called Follow the Elements, which emphasizes looking at the chemistry of environments where life evolves (and not just looking at water or carbon or oxygen).

Men really did land on the moon.

That very scene popped in my head when I started reading this thread.
