NASA Scientist Believes We're on the Brink of Discovering Aliens
ABC News ^ | Apr 8, 2015 | ALYSSA NEWCOMB

Not only does NASA's chief scientist believe alien life forms likely exist, but she said the space agency knows where to look and could discover signs of extraterrestrial life within the next decade.

Speaking on a panel discussion on Tuesday about water in the universe, NASA's chief scientist Ellen Stofan said she believes the first indications of alien life could come by 2025 -- with more concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life coming in 20 to 30 years.

And I also broke a few dozen solar panels at Home Depot, they were laid flat on pallets and I just stood on them and they cracked very nicely lol.

So, you are admitting to a criminal act on a public forum. Dang. we seem to be attracting a pretty low class of newbies.

“A character in my current novel (a Good Angel) said something the other day that kind of took me aback: “Miracles are what God does. Angels use technology. And there are good and bad angels.”

Do you have a link to that book?

And before anyone gives me grief, unless we forget, those things are putting good Americans out of work. My brother in law was laid off from the Highland Mine thanks to people buying this junk, so no sympathy here. Places that sell (and people who buy) are hurting their country. Think about it.

I may not think AGW is a real thing but I do have some solar panels to be used in emergencies and I don't support your criminal activity. We are not Occupy Wall Street. Please move on.

They're solidifying an angle to increase our taxes to pay for a new gubmint department to host alien welcoming parties and administer their on-going benefits.

Hey, it worked back in 2014, by executive action!

Our Mars research is still in the beginning stages, and there has not been a probe specifically looking for life there since the Viking landers in the 1970s. Some scientists regard the Viking results as equivocal due to flawed design of their on board life labs.

For now, the mysteriously persistent methane traces on Mars are seen as potentially suggestive of active life there, as is the evidence of water flows and large sedimentary rock deposits. NASA seems to think that there is microbial life on Mars, or at least evidence of it. They dare not talk too openly though because robust scientific proof requires the collection and analysis of microbial samples or fossils.

I’m still writing it! So no, no link yet ... when it comes out, the tentative title is Phase Shift.

Opportunity and Spirit worked for years, doing all sorts of tests on rocks and soil. Pathfinder was there in 1996, but only covered about 1500 feet... but did do some looking. Phoenix went there in 2008 specifically to look for signs of life.

They’re on the moon.
Why else did we cancel Apollo with three completely finished, built, paid for rockets ready to go?
Why else won’t NASA release high resolution images of the entire lunar surface to the public?
What were those holding tanks on the edges of craters photographed by Kaguya (the Japanese satellite)?

We were warned to stay away. They are busy mining up there.

Those probes contributed to our understanding of Mars as potentially habitable, but none of them looked for direct evidence of life. Most notable was that Phoenix analyzed Martian soil chemistry in detail without looking for proof of life.

NASA, which is a vast bureaucracy often driven by contractor relations and budget issues, seems to approach a life-on-Mars discovery as a certainty to be managed so as to gradually extract the maximum number of preliminary missions and technology development and build support for a series of manned missions.

“God took away the ability of demons to take human form after the flood”

Well he may have but there is no Bible verse that says that. It does say Satan can appear as an angel of light in order to deceive men...” So it might be safe to say demons’ powers to shift themselves might be limited, we can’t say to what extent. It is simply not been put into the “handbook” for us to know!

Your link to Ingo’s manuscript had me up to 3AM, and I only got to chapter 19! Gonna finish it today ... but it is not ‘bedtime reading’. At four in the morning, the dreams it instigated were ‘unsettling’.

NASA sure has become a political organization. Weren’t they also focusing on global warming?
