NASA News Conf: astrobiology finding that will impact search for evidence of extraterrestrial life

Maybe they found Planet Primus?

Planet Primus? Who is speaking about my homeworld? (No I’m kiding, I’m not a Gibbon…). And what about reptilian intelligency? Is it possible? We don’t know the number of possibilties so all things can be done!

intelligence defined as the ability to solve problems by trial, error and modified repititions of these is actually reachable to any creature, even snails.

however, i just hope they don’t declare they found a cell in the waters from Mars.

If that’s a intelligency…. we may already within their encounter zone, but with a low density setting, so we cannot see them. Let’s just hope the encounter type is area_trade_freighter or area_trade_transport, because we may have problem if the encounter is area_scout or area_assault

Actually i don’t like any alien popup here, because we don’t know if creator already hacked the offset 0C458F, so we may got crash problem if creator make a mistake on the encounter zone or path… And that is really a 2012 for us.

If the creator don’t want hack the program file, just call our Sage adoxa, download hes path, add to the ini file and restart server, all will be done. Hum…wait? restart?!..

has btw anyone already gone through the NASA 3d resources? there are some really nice ones and the best: they’re based not on any images or imaginations but on real world objects^^

Ive downloaded a few of them, some are extremely high detail. They could use texturing though, the color on them is simply a colored poly.

@Nexose - that was perfect

Here’s hoping for something really cool.

hey, yea, i know that film. its great. one of the less ridiculous science fiction creations out there^^

i always found it ridiculous that a planet is considered to be able to care life if it has water and a climate allowing it to be liquid. if there is life out there it is not even likely that their organisms will be similar with the ones of earth creatures.
a sentense i heard though was that an intelligent life form beyond our planet will most likely have a mass somewhere between 10 gramms and 5 tonns. “everything else would be inefficient for the evolution of an intelligent mind” wtf?? xD

Hopefully if we ever found intelligent life out there I would hope their biology was significantly different from our own. This would mean they would would need a different types of world to live on than the one we would need (nitrogen/oxygen planets). In that case we would pretty much live in isolation from said species with no competition for similar planetary makeups.

As humans we are a fairly violent species and if they werent advanced enough to fend us off they wouldn’t last long. The same could be said for us if they were much more advanced than us (unlike the wimps called Nomads in FL).

Indeed, but what if they can change the Earth to be better for them? i mean maybe they can change atmosphere or something… I’m really worry about it. You know if we really found aliens, aliens will may found us too.

They maybe…is real nomad (or nomadic?), and we don’t know if they already know about “Environmental Protection” or “Sustainable Development”, and we almost cannot defend our home planet if they come to suck our planet off.

==========HAHAHAHA Separatrix=========

To be honest… I very like to write something about alien culture or something like that in my mod story… and i already added two faction for aliens and more for space creatures… but if i really encounter aliens…maybe…hummmm…

Finally, Just hope the way of them to say “Good Bye” is different from the “Scare Move” LOL

Woops! I don’t really understood this thread… And I wanted to say I hope their is not humanoid lifeformes only, it could be borring to see that and I hope their is reptilian species, like Dragons (really impressive). I hope too, Dragons are very very intelligent like 3 X human intelligence (but I think I’m dreaming).

Well, did anyone catch it? Unfortunately I wasnt at home when it was being shown.

NASA found some organisms, in fact they found some bacterium or something well change the define of organisms.

They found bacteria that are based of arsenic, which is normally toxic to most/all life forms. Thus, the possibilities are even larger than what we would’ve expected as far as diversity goes.

After taking a look at a periodic table, I can see how arsinic could be used in place of phosphorous. It is directly below it which means it has pretty similar properties. The same could also be said of the other elements making up a dna strand.

Right, it is the same idea as the Horta, which is based on silicon rather than carbon. It is yet another Star Trek prediction proven.

Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a bricklayer!

Silicon was known to be a possibility for a while, arsenic is another matter entirely because while silicon is mostly inert, arsenic is some really nasty stuff.
