Remember that post I posted just a few hours ago about some big ass NASA disclosure? Well, you are going to be a little disappointed, but this is it. I know, I know, right? I was expecting a gutted alien on an operating table or a UFO wreck or something but this is all they got, what are you going to do? besides punching the administrator in the face for being an alarmist.

Hit the break to see what they really got (Clue: It’s not a little autopsied green man)

In a press conference held at NASA’s Washington D.C. headquarters, scientists announced that they had discovered a new form of bacteria, known as GFAJ-1, in California’s Mono Lake that has DNA completely foreign to anything ever before found on Earth. It substitutes arsenic at the DNA level for phosphorus

That would distinguish it from every other form of life known to man, all of which, no matter how diverse, is comprised of the same six elements, phosphorus, sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. But the bacteria found in Mono Lake–which is known for its unusual chemistry, including very high levels of salinity, alkalinity, and arsenic–is made partly of arsenic, and has no phosphorus in its DNA.

“The newly discovered microbe, strain GFAJ-1, is a member of a common group of bacteria, the Gammaproteobacteria,” NASA wrote in a release. “In the laboratory, the researchers successfully grew microbes from the lake on a diet that was very lean on phosphorus, but included generous helpings of arsenic. When researchers removed the phosphorus and replaced it with arsenic, the microbes continued to grow. Subsequent analyses indicated that the arsenic was being used to produce the building blocks of new GFAJ-1 cells.”

NASA feels that this discovery is important because it will help scientists with many areas of future research, such as the “study of Earth’s evolution, organic chemistry, biogeochemical cycles, disease mitigation, and Earth system research. These findings also will open up new frontiers in microbiology and other areas of research.”

That’s it…  THAT IS IT!?  You better bring me two dead grays next time or I’ll smack ya with the newspaper dammit!! You people suck at finding extraterrestrial life. And you know what else you suck at? Making futuristic-luxury-hotel-spacestations!! As a matter of a fact, you totally blow ass at that, all you got is a super-hi-tech-laboratory with a bunch of hi-tech equipment! You can’t even have zero-g sex there!
