Potential big news from NASA

[The_Architect]

Scheduled for December 2. I have to admit, the wording used in this press release really intrigues me.

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

"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."

 

[Farnsworth]

They are out there!

Alien Dinosaurs that walked with Jesus live on Saturn, we all know that.

 

[3GenClone]

 

[RyCy04]

Two days to stock up on water, canned goods, and ammunition.

 

[SuperCy]

Maybe Tom Cruise is right?

 

[cyclonedave25]

I figured they were announcing that there was an asteroid poised to hit earth...

Has NASA found life near Saturn?  | ajc.com

I'm guessing they're going to say they found planets with the potential to hold life, or found some fossilized bacteria on the Moon or something.

 

[FarminCy]

I"m hoping they found ALF.

Update: According to Alexis Madrigal, the answer to the hyperbolic question in the headline is "no".

I'm sad to quell some of the @kottke-induced excitement about possible extraterrestrial life. I've seen the Science paper. It's not that.

Well, if it's not life on another planet, obviously then it's a gigantic asteroid that's going to slam into Earth December 2012...

 

[cysocool]

Whoever's out there, hope we find them before they find us. :smile:

 

[cyclonedave25]

I guess this is it guys...

Ron Burgundy: Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen... Cannonball!

Probably called the press conference to discuss Will Smith filming Men in black 3 and Independence day 3 and 4 and how we will need will to stop the Aliens. Probably, I could be wrong.
