Space Alien Research Grad Program May Soon Be A Thing
International Business Times ^ | November 19, 2019 | Lorraine Lorenzo

Hold on to your hats, skeptics. The study of alien existence is about to become a real scientific field. Pennsylvania State University is gearing up to make the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) an established field of scientific study. This means that a degree in Alien Research, no matter how outlandish it might sound, is soon going to be a real thing.

According to a report, the university is planning on doing this by offering courses on the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life in its course catalog. It will also conduct actual research into the subject through it’s newly-established Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center (PSETI Center).

The mind behind the PSETI Center is Jason T. Wright, Ph.D. According to his profile page on the Penn State website, Wright teaches astronomy and astrophysics in the university and also serves as a member of the university’s Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds, and the Habitable Zone Planet Finder development team.

His career in Penn State exposed him to data often studied by SETI scientists as part of the earlier program. Wright’s journey into the search for intelligent life began in the early 2010s, however, where an accidental one-off statement to a journalist turned him into a resource person for all queries that were remotely extraterrestrial in context.

It’s about a thousand times more believable than the GlowbullClimateWarmingChange nonsense.

Oh, let me guess: They’ll insist they have research that proves not only that man-made climate change is ruining sustainability for the extra-terrestrials that are already here on earth, but is also discouraging open, peaceful visitations and putting interstellar states on a war-footing to conquer da Erf to save it from ourselves. There’s only 30 years left...

Need to search for intelligence in their students first.

Why study this? We all know aliens exist. Their names are Schiff, Nadler, Green, Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Hildebeast, Obama, Chuckie schmuckie, to name a few. 👍😁

“It’s about a thousand times more believable than the GlowbullClimateWarmingChange nonsense.”

BUT, imagine the credibility available once a person presents their resume with a Major in SETI with a minor in Search for Democrat Intelligence.

What kind of income will the graduate have to trade for his student loan?

a degree in ET’s May be better then most of the useless college degrees today, insofar as the job market is concerned

Unless you can land a cushy job paid for by public grant, a degree in ET ( electrical transmission) ie journeyman electrican which pays you to learn it. Will pay more and is always in demand. Just my thoughts.

Doesn’t sounds like good business advice unless you want to bilk governments for millions in endless research grants.

Man-made global warming isn't only affecting Earth, we are warming the temperatures on Mars, don't you know?

This unfriendly nature of Man to the Cosmos could lead to violent repercussions from other sovereign societies in the galaxy. < /s >
