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.

Come on now AJ, it's not like they are just going to start chucking satellites out there to find ET.

Steven, those weren't aliens, and that wasn't an extraterestrial ####### probe. That was a gay bar, and you had way to many apple martinis.

Who here doesn't believe in ET's?

Do I believe members of a species non-native to Earth have been to Earth while ** sapiens have been here? No, but I know I could be wrong.

Do I believe there is no life anywhere but Earth? No.

The kepler mission wasn't illconceived. My point was that the title made it out like this was a search for ET. From what i've read about astrobiology, they are looking for other life forms, an alien sentient being would just be icing on the cake.

... an alien sentient being would just be icing on the cake.

And it might be an opportunity to bring back slavery. Like our friend Charles enjoys telling us... slavery gets sh'it done.

Oh, he was being literal there? I just figured it was Charles trolling again.

The latest rumor is that they found evidence of photosynthesis in the clouds of Titan. That would be very cool.
