the new NASA astrobiology thing...

"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."

So who thinks we'll finally get some real info about our new alien overlords?

 

Maybe they proved god exists and are trying to convince him to create more life?

 

They found the protoss!

 

It could just be martian microbes.

 

I'll take anything, as long as it's alive. Would be about time they found something with those billions being invested into it.

 

Apparently Nasa discovered something on earth.

 

Lame

 

something which shakes the very foundations of biochemistry.

 

Alien chocolate shakes?!

 

I'm halfway through the IO9 article on it and it was pretty much what I expected it to be.

 

I think it's pretty freaking fantastic.

Far better than extraterrestrial life imo, because afaiknew, they would most likely be carbon based like us.

Another biological base (and arsenic too... lol) is incredible. Like drie said, this is really really big.

EDIT: The IO9 article talks about basically gas with an arsenic base... Somehow that seems like a REALLY bad idea.
