Folks, I just stumbled across a tip that made me jump right out of my seat! I actually spilled the coffee on the desk! Any other day that would have been a sacrilege, but this time it’s different. The tip I came across made the coffee incident look like nothing. Here, I will let the article talk instead, cause I’m too damng excipited to artizaculate wordorors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Science fans across the Internet are eagerly awaiting an announcement from NASA’s astrobiology team planned for Thursday. All NASA will say about the press conference is that it will “discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.”
Holy shit!! Did you heard that? “impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life” They made contact or something!!! And just a few months after the UN proposed to appoint a “Space Ambassador” and a few weeks after the NASA guy disclosed an encounter with a UFO!! Coincidence?
NASA haven’t revealed explicitly whatever the hell they found that will rock your socks, but you can hit the break and read a few guesses of the possible outcomes of this announcement!!!
Evidence of Life on Mars?
While many are hoping that NASA will announce that extraterrestrial life has been discovered, this seems like a near impossibility. If this were the case, the best prospect for this might be from Mars. The Exploration Rover Spirit has been stationary for just about a year after getting stuck in some soft sand. That would give it an opportunity to study that patch of sand over a long period of time, during which it might perceive chemical changes attributable to life processes. It’s a long shot at best, but remember that in the spot where it is stuck, Spirit was looking at layered sulfate salts associated with ancient thermal vents that could have been a prime location for bacterial life at some point in the Red Planet’s distant past.
A New Chemical Basis for Life?
More likely is that a group of NASA astrobiologists has discovered a chemical model for life based on something other than oxygen and water. Such a discovery might open up the number of potential sites where extraterrestrial life might be found and would be a major breakthrough in the field. Looking at the team of scientists that NASA lists as attending the press conference, perhaps we can gain some further insight.
The Best Guess about the NASA astrobiology announcement
My guess, and it is only a guess, is that a new chemical basis for life has been modeled resulting in the discovery of a unique chemical signature that, if found in an extraterrestrial rock (or a terrestrial rock, for that matter), would be a smoking gun for the past presence of this type of life. Perhaps, they have even actually found such evidence, either with a visual examination of martial soils by the rovers, or in meteorite fragments found in the arctic.
There you have it folks, 3 guesses at what could it be just to quench your morbid curiosity for now. If you want to know what it really is the announcement will be made today at 2pm EST, 7pm GMT. Be there, or be square. I will be there. In spirit, cause I can’t get to the NASA headquarters in person so quickly. I just won’t fly anymore after all the TSA bullshit, I can squeeze my junk myself, thank you!

What is NASA’s Secret Astrobiology Announcement?

Thanks very much to Alex, who sent me this tip! You guys rock!!!
All very exciting yes, but let’s be realistic. Space programmes are the single most expensive thing to run on planet Earth and US just won’t have the funds nor resources to run this for much longer. One good example is how they are struggling to maintain GPS satellites. Along with mismanagement they blame lack of funding.
But may be CERN will spit out something spectacular other than big black blob with insatiable appetite for matter, which could push us closer to Cydonia.
P.S. I keep lot of Ordnance Survey maps ;-)
@LongDog Well, I’m pretty confident that hopefully Virgin is going to take off from where NASA left off. What I’m worried about is that they will probably go crazy with all the power and the billionare funding if they succeed in impressing the investors. And then they will come up with this convoluted, twisted scheme where they are going to ass-rape us with a massive d*ldo from a satelite! Just look at Google for a good example.
I feel like NASA is a good program for or government ,but perhaps the few private space companies will bring us closer to a vacation on the moon or on mars ,The over rich and over bored Virgin mobile Owner just got his rocket into orbit and plans on lifting some weight off of NASA’s hands here soon I belive.
@Citizenlyfe I’m also enthusiastic about Virgin’s space program, I just hope that it doesn’t turn out some kind of world domination scheme, like Google’s or Facebook’s.
All is NASA trying to do is to justify their existence and secure future fundings to make sure they survive another decade or so. They cannot possibly come up with anything tangible becuase they are taking completely wrong approach to understanding of life. BIIIIIGGG SCAM !
@LongDog I disagree, we definitely need something like NASA (I still want to see a touristic space station and bases on Mars), but the techniques that they are using to draw funds are utterly retarded.
