So NASA hypes the story about some folks finding bacteria that can trade arsenic for phosphorus, saying it is a big deal for finding life "not as we know it", but you hear nothing about this guy's team that believes they have found fossilize bacteria in cometary meteorites. Weird.

Let the data be widely analyzed first before headlines get out of control. I remain skeptical since the Mars bacteria years ago. I think things will still remain highly inconclusive.

Weird.

NASA is just another federal agency with an agenda. Truth and honesty are not on the menu. Name one federal agency that is working honestly for "we the people." The USDA-FS, we read in a posting near this one, wants to close roads in Utah's Gila National Forest. The epa is a rogue agency, hell-bent on closing down everything that contributes to a descent life. atf and gunwalker.

nasa is just another waste of money that needs to be grubbed out, root, vine and branch.

I feel a song coming on.

Cf. The End of Science by John Horgan. A great read if nothing else. A must read, IMHO, if you want to understand the decadent state of science today.

Somehow this comng from an islamic feel good agency is a bit much!

Amazing how science can define “life” as being bacteria, etc., and yet has a difficult time defining human life when it comes to a fetus as it directly relates to abortions, huh? /s =.=
