always remember all this time there has been an alien base - on the far side of the moon (and elsewhere, as well) and they've done nothing - or have they? ;oP

Discovery Shows Universe Could be Full of Life Source: AFP Published: 11:23 AM   Wednesday January 31, 2001 WASHINGTON - The chemical elements required to develop life on Earth could have originated in space with the formation of the solar system, US scientists said today. In their research, published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists, scientists created an environment similar to "empty space," freezing a mixture of ice, carbonated gas, carbon monoxide, ammonia and methanol at temperatures nearing absolute zero. They then bombarded the mixture with ultraviolet rays to reproduce the conditions in the dense interstellar clouds that birthed the solar system. The complexity and diversity of cells produced in the experiment astonished researchers, who stated, in effect, that those newly-formed cell membranes were at the origins of life. When the researchers added water to the mixture, some of the solids spontaneously formed membranous vesicles that converted energy from ultraviolet light into visible light, necessary to create life. The hypothesis gives renewed credence to the "panspermia" theory; that the process of creating life on Earth was begun millions of years ago when chemical compounds were dropped on the nascent planet by comets, meteorites or space rubble. Though the scientists remain cautious about their discovery, they nonetheless affirm their conclusions support the possibility of life in other solar systems. "Very complex organic molecules that might be important for the origin of life could well be falling on the surfaces of newly-formed planets everywhere in the universe," said Louis Allamandola of NASA's Ames Research Center in California's Silicon Valley, who led the team. "This discovery implies that life could be everywhere in the universe."

-ding- Radio is the first thing we came up with. We haven't been using it very long, and mostly to transmit over relatively short distances, and only under the most ideal of circumstances. Space is vast; and there is alot of interference out there. Aliens are not likely to be using forms of communication that are very detectable by our primitive human means or imaginations. The thought of millions of people subscribing to SETI@home reminds me of Gilligan watching the waves in his lagoon, diligently, for any sign of rescue. Besides, for those of us who do believe in UFOs, it's obvious they've gone to a little bit of trouble to keep most of us generally in the dark about their very existence. For crop circles: maybe they're experimenting on grain, to see if it can be made more edible for them, here in the Arkansas of the Universe. Perhaps they really need bovine reproductive organs and other assorted spare parts; to either clone more MIBs or stock impulse-buy sections of their cosmic 7-11.

ticking away Having finally completely destroyed any hope of continuing humanoid organic life on this war beaten world, the cultural elite decided (or will decide) to beam themselves back in time millions of years to a point when Mars was wet, green, and wholly capable of flourishing their chosen method and preferred brand of socio-politico-economic system. Thus, Bob and Dave were sent on an errand to the Terran surface, oblivious to the fate that was intended to befall them, so shortly. A little lost (and somewhat stoned), our perilous pair o heroes found themselves, instead, in a sleeker shuttle module, which really cranked their keesters. Unaware that it was programmed for time displacement, until it was almost too late, they were thus hence blinked only a mere several hundred years into the past - although, yes, to the Earth's surface instead of Cydonia, where and when meanwhile the Face was just nearing completion. Upon awakening, they found themselves on Mac Brazel's ranch, and decided to skedaddle (eventually inventing rock and roll and starting the whole 60s hippie revolution thing). The wealthy time-tourists were awoken from stasis by military personnel; and when they demanded to be taken to a proper terminal for re-departure, they were evacuated instead to an underground nuclear tactical facility in Ohio, and what was left of the shuttle to something similar in Texas. Being demanded of for which to describe how to put the thing back together again, they responded with resplendent indignance, and were thus summarily shot by Congressional Order. Their remains remain on display in the sub-basement of the Pentagon to this day, as a warning to all those who may internally oppose to dispose.
