// NASA is planning to make a huge announcement today, about possible life in our own solar system. Exact details of what we can expect to hear have not been released. We do know that evidence has been found that could point to life relatively close to the earth.... No other information at this time
FYI
I hope they didn't find my Millennium Falcon I had parked in orbit around Phobos.
I'm gonna rip Chewie a new one for this....
Richard Hoagland at www.enterprisemission.com is going to have fun with this one. Expect him on the Art Bell show (http://www.coasttocoastam.com/) within the next night or two to talk about it.
Laugh while-a you can monkeyboy!
"I had that once. The doctor said it was the worst case he had ever seen."
Thank goodness you found that asteroid belt.
It's scheduled to enter Mars orbit tomorrow."
Thanks. Surely a few of us appreciate the information and resent the zillion irrelevant, child-like, un-funny comments we have come to expect from 90% of posters.
Asimov, Isaac, "Dreamworld"
Edward Keller, age 13, is an enthusiastic reader of science fiction. He is being raised by his aunt Clara who keeps telling him to "face reality." One night, his usual stfnal dream turns to horror as a myriad of huge Claras pursues him, telling him to "face reality." If he cannot awake, he will be trapped in a world of giant aunts!
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction 9:5 November 1955 (pg.127)
"NASA will announce that after spending $746,028,391,459,227,836 on its Mars missions, that they have determined that some of the rocks there are reddish-brown, and some are brownish-red.
Either that, or they'll announce a new flavor of Tang."
LOL. That's funny....I think... or sad.
They've found life out there!
"Well, remember that this is one of NASA's reason for being in the first place."
That must be, spending money.
Maybe they'll finally admit that aliens do exist and are on Earth as we speak... and that Druge is one of 'em!
The ALien autopsy was REAL, I just knew it!
Good news:
We discovered life outside our solar system. They are technologically advanced and great warriors.
Bad news:
They are Muslims.
That's Big-boo-TAY...
LOL, I see the public schools did a very fine job of ruining your mind.
Extraterrestrial Life Found
Poor and Mminorities Hardest Hit
