I've got to be honest there must be something out there, and being Brtish (and therefore synical) my first reaction is to think that they will probably want to kill us all and mine earth for rescources.
Life that uses a heavy metal in place of phosphorus (a pretty important part of both genetic material and various energy transport molecules)? Holy fuck yes. This is PROPER SCience (note the capital "SC"). We're advancing the field of biological knowledge by a massive leap, there. And it also means that Transformers Animated / Beast Wars looks that little bit more plausible all of a sudden.
Now where's the ones that use Silicon instead of Carbon?
Speaking as a sort-of-ex-biologist, it is just epically cool to have lived through something like that being found. And actually looking across other things on NASA's website, they're involved in some seriously heavyweight wibbly-wobbly sciency-wiency stuff. It's all just, like, wow.
I wish that hadn't come out quite so Valley, but it's temporarily imploded my common sense cortex.

That's also what I expect, I mean I wouldn't expect something growing up in an entirely different solar system to be that similar. The word 'humanoid' comes from human so chances are it won't be soDr. Paine said:
Your avatar works well for saying that. Also, PIRATES, ARE IN THIS YEAR!KRbertsproduck5 said:
But, why don't we ever do anything with space bacteria, like make cheese with it or something?

then ill make a game about you! it shall be called...Half life 2:episode three.... oh wait thats never gunna be made
NO! LALALALALA! I cant hear you! LALALALALALA!
OT: This is pretty big news.. They have suspected silicon based lifeforms to be a possibility on different planets and this kinda reinforces that idea.
hahaha no way, impossiblejaketheripper said:then ill make a game about you! it shall be called...Half life 2:episode three.... oh wait thats never gunna be madesooperman said:
but it DOES happen...maybe Ep3 will be NASA's next hyped up announcement! lolz
I see what you did there....Andy Chalk said:
OT: This is exciting. I mean really really exciting. I can't wait to hear more about this!
Well, it's December 6th, and I don't remember anything about aliens happening over the past few days. It was probably some sort of microbacteria, a new probe, or something equally unimpressive.
