It's Waddle's penalty football isn't it?

That balance is a long way past tipped in favour already. It's whether they'll be sufficiently advanced enough to communicate and within possible range of communication that's the question.

More whether intelligent life crosses over, the only time life on this planet has been able to communicate with space is minute, how long it will last , who knows ?

It is already a strong theory we are in fact martians. Mars was a settled planet whilst we were still a seething ball of lava. They had a massive impact of a planetesimal which smashed a huge chuck of their crust and few chunks will have reached us when we had cooled down a bit.

You gingers speak for yourselves mate. :)

Daft Donald is too busy borrowing 50p from blues at bus stops.

Ffs it used to be 20p Steve!

I think there has to be alien life elsewhere and I think with the advances inn technology it is only a matter of time before this is proven. I do get the impression that information is being drip fed to the media and this may be an example of it.

No pictures of little green men but maybe scientific evidence that alters the balance of probability strongly in favour of life elsewhere.

If evidence of life is found on another planet that would be absolute proof that the universe is teeming with life as the most distant planet detectable from earth is only around 20,000 light years away compared to the diameter of the universe being 93 billion light years. That means we can only see planets in 0.000000000000000002% of the universe so if we've found another planet with life in that relatively small area, there must be trillions of planets beyond where we could detect them that have life.

Must be time to negotiate their budget.

Bang on. Absolutely fucking bang on the money.

Ffs it used to be 20p Steve!

Inflation is a bastard!

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

they've found Glauber Berti.

 

[MellowJoe]

Oh dear.. Earth 2.0? NASA better give it a rest. No good can come of this. Hopefully a caffeine caked nerd nudged his frequency dial and ended up hearing a radiation fart that sounded a little bit like 'Hello?'

Bang on. Absolutely fucking bang on the money.

They will probably spin it so Trump can take some personal credit. That would guarantee future funding.
