ALIEN LIFE IS A COVER-UP
IT IS FABRICATED
NASA ARE BUZZING OVER BACTERIA TO COMETS AND WHATEVER AND THEN ARE GOING TO CLAIM THAT THEY FOUND LIFE IN ORDER TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT HUMANS AND EARTH AREN'T UNIQUE AND THAT THE ALMIGHTY GOD DOESN'T EXIST
DESTROY NASA
DESTROY THE BACTERIA

It's a ploy for more funding.
>>73606690
It's just sad that they have to cry wolf all the fucking time to get funding.
>>73605667
These are never anything interesting to the layman.
>>73606690

They found over 1000 exoplanets, kinda interesting

honestly fuck nasa. they hype something every 4 months and get people freaking out and then it's always nothing. they're idiots for doing this all the time. you can only cry wolf so many times. nasa is obsolete anyways. they fucked themselves with diversity hiring and government unions. only interesting space shit you'll ever see will come from private companies or other countries.

I bet they found out that black holes have a strong gravitational pull if you get close enough.

HILLARY CLINTON'S CLIT CONFIRMED AS EXTRA-TERRESTRIC
DUDE
AYY
>>73607559
Living in mud huts.
Whatever happened with the supposed dyson sphere in construction NASA found a while ago?
>>73606051
No, just more jews, except their from space.
The people talking would be far more excited and enthusiastic in his speech if life was found.
>>73607161
>>73608076
wrong one
They always do this before an announcement.
>It might be aliens!
>It might be water!
>It might be life!
They need to keep public interest.
>>73608159
Nothing, because SETI is incompetent.
no happening sorry guys but its still very interressting, nasa now has proof that pretty much most star systems have a lot of planets in them.
and quite a few of them earth like
>>73608196
>>73608262
Wait, they didn't have that proof until now?
>>73605667
Oh come on, we all know it's some bullshit like water. Oh fucking amazing right? Oh something like "habbital planet found 2000 billion light years away"
>>73606379
Yes it is, that's why it's spelled cynicool. Fucking Texas get your shit straight
>>73605667
ALIEN LIFE IS SHILL TIER...
You still trust NASA about anything????
>>73608342
not specific enough, now they know that there are around 200 planets with close or the same mass as earth and are in the range of there sun that they should have the same surface temperature as earth.
so around 200 worlds that could easely support life as we know it.
no happening but still interressting if you care about that sort of thing
>>73606769
Which is sad cause they have to cry wolf to get funding in the first place.
Thanks Obama
>>73608159
Around Tabetha's Star, you mean?
>>73605667
This had better be either about the Dyson sphere they found or the lights on that asteroid.
>>73608490
>you will never fuck an alien humanoid
>>73608159
Nothing. What were you hoping though? it's light years away and as far as we're aware a dyson sphere (or at least large scale harnessing of solar energy) is just a POSSIBLE explanation.
>>73608492
nah you can thank nixon and regan for that they killed nasas budget and all the other presidents just continued that shit
>>73605667
>So we like found this microbe
>Alien life
Any important announcement would come from the president, not NASA.
>>73607001
NASA's doing what they're supposed to be doing, finding shit out, and telling people about it.
The fact that some people go apeshit when they schedule a press release is not NASA's fault.
>>73608623
>implying the presidents even have enough power to affect this shit
>>73608574
both of those were clickbait bullshit written by idiots that dont understand shit, nasa never said anything about a dyson spere they have to be more conservative then that even if everyone would be sure of it, they need to look "professional" or they will loose the little funding they have...
>>73608754
It wasn't even dyson sphere, but dyson swarm.
Coincidentally, a dyson swarm would look a lot like rocks floating around the star.
>>73608702
it was there administrations and cabinets , and the new president apoints his cabinet the real power holders, so in a way the president has a little bit of controll

Case in point, our government has not been kind to Nasa over the years, I could be hoping along the surface of the moon by now. But no, we have to fuck with sandniggers in the fucking Middle East cause of jews and oil.
>mfw can't see stream
So? Have we found our cosmic brothers yet?
Can we be racist towards them?
>>73608949
if there were then they would have already, the question still stands if there are planets around pretty much every sun then were is all the alien life?
it just dosent make sense that we havent seen or heard anything in the 100 years since we have ben looking into space
>>73608394
You do realize how significant extra terrestrial water discoveries are right? That essentially means we can go there and stay there. Water is nowhere near as portable in space as any other essential resource for life off Earth.

If there was space traveling Whites, you think they would waste time by stopping and seeing us?
They are all ready here and they have been here for a long ass time.
Instead of circlejerking about exo planets, sending shitty rovers to Mars and sending out fucking Pluto probes, those fuckers should get off their asses and FINALLY start their fucking Titan/Europa probes.
You know, the probes that have been discussed for at least thirty years and have still not been launched.
The probes that would explore the places MOST LIKELY TO HAVE LIFE IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM if they finally got off the ground.
Fucking cunts without any sense of priority.
>>73607161
ALIEN GFS WHEN
>>73605667
That's nice. It's increasing my chance to get laid, can't wait for that alien pussy.
>>73609185
yea we are less then 200 years away from propper space travel and colonisation efforts so we are at best a competetor for recorces.
>>73609185
I've suddenly come to a mind-boggling realization.
If we discover a space-faring civilization, we would be seen as the niggers of the universe.
>>73605928
>>73606003
it's probably something that's fairly cool, but inaccessible to average people's interests and definitely not aliens.
A goldilocks-zone world with water or oxygen confirmed would be my guess.
>>73609086
That was an epic video. Does anyone know where the footage actually came from? I've also seen some of astronauts walking through structures on the moon.
>>73609259
has there ever ben a resone why they havent pot more effort for those 2 planets? i mean they are also usefull candidates for potential colonisation, so knowing things about them will be usefull no mather what

>It's a ploy for more funding.
It's not a ploy, it's the press and public reacting to the everyday process of SCIENCE! being discovered.
Everyone outside NASA goes "is it aliens" everytime because that's what people really want out of our space program. The closest NASA has ever come is when they said on a Friday that they were making a major announcement the coming Monday, and that was for the water leaking out of Martian craters. People lost their shit that weekend, too.
>>73606769
>It's just sad that they have to cry wolf all the fucking time to get funding.
They aren't crying wolf, Fritz. They announced and are now having a press conference. Kepler budgets aren't going to have an effect on funding. Jobs in Important States™ are what cause budget increases. This is why the SLS getts increased funding while planetary sciences gets fewer and fewer scraps every year, despite these kind of discoveries.

You people don't understand our system. We do not a parliamentary system. Our cabinet is NOT "the real power holders". In fact, our President is the one with the power in the executive branch, period. The cabinet is often filled with people who are allies or people to whom the President owes favors.

>Here's what we all want to know - nine of the planets announced today are potentially habitable. That means they're similar in size to Earth and they're in the 'Goldilocks Zone' of their planet, so liquid water could be present.
>Of particular interest is Kepler-1229b (the Earth-sized orange planet down in the bottom right corner of the image above), says Natalie Batalha. That's because it's similar in size to Earth but close to the middle of the habitable zone. Kepler-705b looks good too.
Colony ships when?
What happened to the bright spot on ceres? Last i heard nasa refuses to release undoctored images.
>>73609771
Yeah, dropped from the Cassini spacecraft we sent out there. I don't even care that it's all liquid methane and shit, I still marvel at the fact that there are liquid lakes on a world with an atmosphere right here in our own solar system.

Titan probe happened years ago with Cassini and the Huygens lander. The Europa Clipper is a go and will be flying sometime in the next decade.
NASA and the university researchers that provide the mental fuel for these projects have an incredible sense of priority. The decadal maps and endless meetings they attend help them prioritize very small budgets to do incredible science.

I also thought the notion of fucking sexy aliens was a silly one for a number of reason, but one of my favourites is that, if they're less intelligent then why don't you just fuck monkeys or something, and if they're more intelligent, well, they're probably not going to want to fuck your sorry arse.

>>73610084
While I'm 100% in agreement with the sentiment, the other anon has a point, Mars is kind of shit unless we plan on some fuckhuge terraforming efforts that are not really helpful in the timeframe we'd desire. I've kind of been drawn to the cloud-cities for Venus idea lately, definitely hard but closer, plus what have we even done with Venus lately?
>>73610017
>Orion
>being propelled by fucking nukes
I just can't accept this was a legit project.
The sequential accelerations would shred to bits and kill anything aboard the spaceship.
Unmanned probes? Frozen sperm and ova for artificial reproduction once the ship arrives? Maybe.
So what did they announce?
>>73610171
yea but buildingh a ship big enough to hold enough nukes for a orion ship still isent feasable, we still need a easy way to get shit out of the atmosphere everything after tht is easy its just the first hard as fuck step.
after that it wont mater if we use orion nukes, solar sails or fusion it just needs to be build

>>73610303
>The Europa Clipper is a go and will be flying sometime in the next decade.
Got any details on that?
Reading up on that shit right now, but my current source is Wikipedia.
>>73610464
They found exoplanets and some of them might be inhabitable. Of course, all of these planets are far away and wouldn't be reached in ones lifetime unless you accelerate to about 99%+ the speed of light for time dilletation to set in.
>>73610346
>Implying qt aliens girls would want to mate with a Nordic man whose culture is suicidal
She will want the superior Celtic genes
>implying you can penetrate the heavenly dome that surrounds and protects our flat earth
come on people use your brains
>>73610458
if you watch the documentary the physicist behind the project said the ship would have to be incredibly heavy otherwise the acceleration would pulverize the spacecraft, there was also a blast plate with shocks to absorb the blast which they calculated would have around a tenth of an inch vaporized off with each blast
the documentary is very good and the plan is completely feasible they even made scale models with conventional bombs that worked
>>73610432
the 94 atmos worth of pressure on venus are a bigger problem then the rads and low pressure on mars though, and the first efforts will be hard as fuck anyway no mather were we do it, and luna is the best candidate for a first effort that will teach us how to survive in hostile enviroments
>>73610432
This is so not true. Mars has a lot of potential for industrial and agricultural development as it is right now. The biggest limiting factor besides getting there is the lack of nitrogen, which is just a business opportunity.
>>73610695
Well, now we have some more targets for Sthephen Hawking's "Starchip" project.
>>73610744
Gotta see that. Thank you burgerbro.
>>73610487
We'd really need to build somewhere remote like a Lagrange point or Lunar orbit, and getting the infrastructure for doing so would take a lot of effort but provide a long term payoff.
>>73610506
Thinking about Mars, the conclusion I always come to is building large underground shelters, maybe using bigass lava tubes if we find some, but then if we're just doing that what's stopping us from doing the same here on Earth? Colonize the crust if we have people willing to live inside for their whole lives.
>>73610781
The idea with Venus is to anchor huge airship-type structures high enough in the atmosphere for pressures and temperatures to start approximating what we find some places on Earth, not landing on the hellscape of a surface.
>>73610898
I'm nervous about the rads, and the longterm effects of birthing humans in 1/3rd gravity that we haven't really tried to do yet.
>>73610735
>>73610901
yup cant wait to see the first of those fuckers launch
>>73610901
This is bullshit
its gonna take forever for them to accelerate to that speed even with their low mass. The thrust impulse is so fucking low (yet incredibly efficient) that it'll never reach that speed for so long

Do you honestly think they would let the knowledge of other life be released to the unwashed masses?
I guarantee that we only know a fraction of what is going on at NASA or any other likewise space organization.
>>73610458
>The sequential accelerations would shred to bits and kill anything aboard the spaceship.
You detonate multiple decives over a prolonged period so the acceleration is managable, not one giant blast.
Project Orion is how we should travel to other star systems, if there are any other species watching, it'll make sure no one will fuck with us.
If some cunts cruise into your system at c-fractional speeds and start using atomic weaponry to decelerate their ship, you're going to make damn sure you're extra-polite when you make first contact.
>>73611298
Their cameras are open to the public so they can't really "hide" anything. if they even try to, someone finds out almost immediately
>>73611044
not really, building large scale underground citys on earth is dangerous as fuck bacause the tectonics are always shifting and create earth quakes were mars on the other hand is tectinocly dead so there will be neather shifts or full earthquakes

Space folk will be different in the long run. For now, spin-gravity and limited shifts on the surface. Workers either live underground or in habitrails in free space near Mars most of the time.

Yeah, when we see a single alien ship using a means of propulsion that we figured out in the 1950s then chances are that rather little concern will be had concerning their species's technology/threat level.
>>73611380
That's true, Mars is dead enough to not worry about a sudden cave-in I suppose. Still, I'd definitely want to see long-term reproductive tests performed on the Moon just to gauge the kinds of effects we could expect on Mars, though
>>73611455
is right in the long-run I think, it's just hard to imagine the future possibilities the human shape has.
So did they found anything or not?
>>73611549
If they're out there, and potentially hostile, it's better to find them rather than have them find us.
If we spot another advanced civilisation in the local interstellar area, we can monitor it for things like the energy flare caused by a valkyrie-type engine burn, that might indicate an interstellar vessel being launched our way, or worse, a relativistic kill vehicle, so we'd at least have some warning that our shit was about to get fucked up.
>>73605667

We will have every shape with genetic engineering and cybernetics. We'll be able to switch out features as needed, too.

yea theres a pretty big chance that spacers will have to get gen moddet just to survive in space longterm by getting a second heart for more gravity resistence as well as a bigger head for low gravity resistence.
high gravity acumalates blood in the feet and kills you and low gravity lets your brain swell and that the things we know so far, fuck knows what other effects there are longterm
>>73611921

Today the number of confirmed planets outside the solar system roughly doubled, with several pretty promising goldilocks-zone worlds among them.

It's impossible for Kepler to find evidence of alien life. It can only make observations of the relationship between a star/stars and any large bodies orbiting them.
>>73611298
They were all but ready to certify that "we are not alone" with the Martian protobacteria fossils in meteorite in the 90s as soon as the papers came out. There was a press conference and a statement from the President and everything.

500 years ago we send most of our criminals, suck fucks and generaly wierd people over to america and austrailia and look how that shit turned out...

Normies: we only care about space because alieums because my space stories.
Tabloids: OMG WE'RE ABOUT THE DISCOVER ALIUMS!
NASA: Actually no.
Normies: Fuck you NASA
Every time. To you sensationalist normie scum, the only thing that matters about space science is finding aliums. It's only been 24 years since we've discovered the first exoplanet, and now we know of thousands, with about 1/3 of them confirmed today. I realize that for many of you edgelord teenagers this is almost two of your lifetimes, but it's actually a very short period. Kepler has been hugely successful in its mission.

Humans will be an utter irrelevence in warfare by the time we have advanced cyborgs, it's significantly easier to build a dedicated bipedal drone than it is to create some sort of cyborg supersoldier.
Mainly for practical reasons as well. How will you assign leave to a soldier that can flip over a car with one hand or can run at 30kmph. What happens if he gets drunk? What do you do when his service time is up?
You'll never have to surgically disarm the drone so it can return to civilian life.

Europa's subsurface oceans would be a lot closer to our environment than the cryogenic landscape on Titan. Not saying Titan couldn't support life but it would be very different. We might be able to grow cod and kelp in Europa.

You don't assign a leave to a cyborg.
A cyborg would alwais be dependant on the megacorp/gubmint who ehnanced it, either for the mechanical manteinance of proprietary parts, or drugs to keep the remaining fleshy bits healty.
Once you go cyborg, you're slave for life.
I don't doubt there would still be many longing for such a life, though.
I'm hoping something relating to the alien megastructure star which has been in the news this week. Might debunk whether it's aliens or not.

>high gravity acumalates blood in the feet and kills you and low gravity lets your brain swell and that the things we know so far, fuck knows what other effects there are longterm
Wow dude way to not do basic internet. Long-term multi-generational animal studies in high-g and low-g have existed for decades -- basically even mammals do not get significantly fucked up (unless they change g, that is). (Most high-g studies are 2-3g, but typical animal centrifuges go up to 8g which still doesn't result in a die-off).

Alien life has already discovered Earth long before any man stood on 2 legs
They simply have nothing to gain from coming here.

Limitation of technology
Lets face it, humanity will never leave Earth. All important resources which would allow 'easy' space travel will be used up by this century and black people will never invent things that would allow them to do space travel. Chinese will fuck the Earth with mutt Europeans after resources get too scarce, or they simply destroy their own habitat.
>>73605667
We already have found tracks of amino acids on a comet. alien life is already confirmed.
>>73605667

>>73615040
How conceited and stupid has someone to be to think that there's no other life than on Earth? Countless civilizations have already destroyed themselves, just as humans will and there's going to be countless civilizations after we're gone.
Hell I expect humans to be quite stupid on universal scale. Imagine some bigger creature, with far larger brain turning into intellectual being.

You dont need evidence to figure shit like this out, you limited boob. Do you need evidence to know your mom and dad fucked at least once also or what?
Didn't they already find a Dyson Sphere under construction a few months back? I assume we already had our proof of alien life from that but since it was IIRC 1500 light years away the only way we would ever hear from them with them is if they sent out ships (travelling at light speed) 1500 years ago in our direction or transmissions powerful enough to be detectable by our instruments 1500 years ago so basically it was pointless.

This is where most sci-fi falls down, the planets are always boring as fuck, even the 'single biome' planets are basics just 'It's the artic planet, it's the Amazon jungle planet'.
I understand TV series like Stargate where the entire galaxy is populated with planets that look remarkably like British Columbia due to budget, but even sci-fi books and games do this.
I want to see spess muhreens fighting electric tentacle ayys on an entire planet of fucking lighting storms.
>>73609424
You do realise that a world with large amount of oxygen in the atmosphere would be almost the same as saying AYYLIENS CUMFIRMED right? You can't have this much like we do on earth without life.

Early SG1 had a diverse set of planets.

Guarantee that when the invasion fleet arrives, these idiots will definately exist.
>Sure, the ayys disintegrated the ambassador we send aboard their ship, but frankly, he was a cishet white male so he probably said something culturally insensitive to them, or tried to terrasplain to them.
>Sure, some of the PEO's (People of Extraterrestrial Origin) are marching down the streets of major cities melting people and major landmarks with their heat rays, but they're only a very, very small minority (Anyone who tells you they're the PEO's warrior-caste is a bigot), the vast majority of them have been nothing but peaceful since they arrived!

So fucking underrated.
Not sure if I am ready for spaceniggers, and the Eric Trump campaign to deport space aliens, and build planetary shield generator now, Make Earth Great Again scenario in 2020. Space is big, but we have niggers to deport of kill here, we can think about it after we cleaned up at home.
WHAT WAS THE NEWS?
It's gonna be more potentially habitable exoplanets, that's it. Daily mail is clickbaity as fuck.

>>73618635
The whole point of exoplanets is that they have relatively similar conditions to Earth. There are most likely plenty of planets with fucking lightning storms and many other crazy stuff but they can't host life as we know it.

Even habitable planets around red giants should have shit like pitch black vegetation and extensive volcanic activity, and they should be common as fuck.
Exact Earth replicas are far too common in sci-fi, it's far more interesting to see people adapting to alien environments rather than 'Hey look we found another world that is basically identical to Earth in every way except for excessive Co2, some plants that glow in the dark and everything has three sets of limbs except for the cat-people!'

What's your medium for "hearing" things? Daily Mail, BBC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, NBC, HBO, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, ABC....etc?
You're absolutely, wholly dependent on these people. They decide what to tell you. Roscosmos could find alien life and you wouldn't know about it for ages because our media didn't report on it. An extreme example,but Roscosmos are extremely busy but obviously the media we consume barely ever reports on them.

Can you imagine how different humans would look from growing up in alternate gravity?
Higher gravity would make stout dwarf looking strongmen.
Lower gravity would make taller, fragile looking elf men.
Couple that with varying amounts of radiation and unique environments and we can start to see what actual biological diversity looks like in humans.
