Ping
Dang, I miss WWN. I always make sure to read at least one issue when I'm home. Every page is a laugh riot.
lol
ok
My english aint great. It aint my language.
S0122017, thanks for the ping. VR, a topic of interest?
I apologize, if my comment offends you. To my knowledge, God only created earth with inhabitants. All the rest, I consider, baloney...
Hey GK....check this out.
Extraterrestrial oolites...
I agree with you. However, I think it's possible that earth bacteria has escaped by meteor impact 'backwash', then migrated to Mars through space, then possibly took root there on Mars, then re-migrated back here by meteor impact.
Well, perhaps the fellow who called "bullshit" was righter than he knew ... if you were an alien lifeform, wouldn't you want to land where bullshit is sacred?
Be sure to let us know when you've figured out how a passing comet can put a dust cloud in geostationary orbit....
TO ALL SCEPTICS: read the science article first.
Whatever they are: they are multiplying.
New biology of red rain extremophiles prove cometary panspermia
Authors: Godfrey Louis, A. Santhosh Kumar (Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, India)
Comments: 17 pages, 6 figures, see related paper astro-ph/0310120
SUMMARY
This paper reports the extraordinary biology of the microorganisms from the mysterious red rain of Kerala, India. These chemosynthetic organisms grow optimally at an extreme high temperature of 300 degrees C in hydrothermal conditions and can metabolize inorganic and organic compounds including hydrocarbons. Stages found in their life cycle show reproduction by a special multiple fission process and the red cells found in the red rain are identified as the resting spores of these microbes. While these extreme hyperthermophiles contain proteins, our study shows the absence of DNA in these organisms, indicating a new primitive domain of life with alternate thermostable genetics. This new biology proves our earlier hypothesis that these microbes are of extraterrestrial origin and also supports our earlier argument that the mysterious red rain of Kerala is due to the cometary delivery of the red spores into the stratosphere above Kerala.

Well, of course it's possible. But there are far too many other important matters for people to concern themselves with. That's probably the problem with Washington. They think they've spotted extra terrestrials, so they spend most of their time on it, and do nothing about what REALLY matters...
This new biology proves our earlier hypothesis that these microbes are of extraterrestrial origin and also supports our earlier argument that the mysterious red rain of Kerala is due to the cometary delivery of the red spores into the stratosphere above Kerala.Actually, this is an overstatement by the researchers, because the only reported ET life was Gilbert Lewin's experiments conducted by the Viking landers on Mars back in the 1970s.
The Viking Labeled Release Experiment and Life on MarsThus, organic compounds surviving this rugged digestion were detected in the soil. They were attributed to kerogen and coal refractory to the GCMS pyrolysis. Biological possibilities were discounted although viable microorganisms have been reported (23) within anthracite coal taken from deep underground. The purpose of the intensive digestion of the Antarctic #726 was not stated. One must wonder what variety of labile organic compounds were present prior to the digestion.

If i remember correctly they wheren't unknown but turned out to be soil bacteria that most likely (ccording to the researcher) contaminated the samples before flight. However, these contamination apparently survived 175 degrees Celsius reintake heat.
That is quite a lot, here at the university laboratory where i am currently in an internship we sterilise at 160.
According to most textbooks, that is sufficient to kill all bacteria. Guess not.
LOL!
Nope:
"A fresh examination of the Viking Pyrolytic Release Experiment (PR) data26 supplies direct support for the formation and persistence of organic matter on Mars."
yep like yesterday ,The maximum cases of red rain occured in my native district kottayam.I was around at the time but did not notice it.But i am pretty sure i didnt hear a 'sonic boom'. A friend claims he still has got nearly half a bottle of it but i have never got to see it ;)
