Has NASA Made First Contact?

[OtherAlex]

Who else has read Deception Point?

 

[Lullabye]

You know, I'm not really surprised, and only slightly excited. I mean, unless this actually impacts the way in which we view alien life(like, its completely different than what would have thought) which seems likely, then i don't really care. Unless of course this has a practical use, or provides some new area of study I might get into.

 

[Scabadus]

Maybe we should hold off on wanting to have sex with anything until...

I don't get it.

Someone had said they'd hoped these aliens were sexy, I was commenting on the peril of inter-species dating before we have more facts. What's not to get? Seriously though, what is it with our species and probing things (or being probed for that matter)?

I was joking; what's this "holding off having sex" you speak of? Why hold off having sex with an alien while we check it's safe? If it looks sexy it's (probably) perfectly harmless (Unless you're a praying mantis in which case, in no particular order, "haha" and "good lord how did you learn to use the internet?"), and movies have taught me that aliens are always promiscuous!

Seriously though, no humping aliens (or praying mantises). It's bad for everyone.

 

[Littlee300]

Probably primitive bacteria.

Not awesome, still a giant leap.

Sorry to disagree, but Primitive Bacteria is seriously awesome. So long as it's extra terrestrial primitive bacteria.

Aren't we related to single cell life? If we could accelerate the process and shape their brains while they are evolving and make them genius...
I can hope...

 

[Stabby Joe]

...then there's the prospect that they've found evidence that there is NO life, impacting the search in a negative way haha.

It won't be much of finding in "geek terms" since they are going to have a conference in a pre-set date in the near future... exciting. If we had made contact we'd already know about it if they were planning to announce it.

 

[Dr. Paine]

I think we should find turians. I like turians.

I agree good sir. I wouldn't mind salarians though, their fast talking and incredible intelligence are awesome. I want a singing scientist salarian XD

I'd hate salarians being first contact... they'd find out everything about us and that'd cause all sorts of hell.

I still vote drell or hanar.

I just don't want us to running into the krogans...

My brothers would love meeting krogan x3

They tend to learn things the hard way...

 

[AndyFromMonday]

They either found proof of extinct species or actually found life. Don't get your hopes up as the chances of it being something more than bacteria are slim at best. Either way, if this discovery warrants its own press conference then I'm sure as hell excited.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Maybe it will be......PIGS IN SPAAAAAACE!

"No-one would have believed, in the first years of the twenty first century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes; and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us."


I, for one, welcome our new galactic overlords.

-Hi five- I think Richard Burton is possibly the only person who could pull off narration like that.

Okay back on topic... If they've found anything... I'm saying bacteria... Otherwise, I don't think they've found anything other than another theory or planing a budget to search an area that may have life. Though the chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one...

 

[Christopher Dudgeon]

Hopefully they've found Intelligent life as there's bugger all down here!

Won't be surprised if it's a bunch of bacteria, but I'm still excited.

I personally would like it to be the remains of an advanced civilization (you know, like Mass Effect)

 

[gee666]

for the conspiracy theorists , wiki leaks have got there hands on thousnds of documents


Disclaimer i don't beleve this but i was chating to a friend on TS and he hit out with that

 

[RedDeadFred]

Hmmmm, maybe the workers at Bioware are secretly from an alien race who are setting into motion the beginning of the Mass Effect series in real life and there is some huge menace threatening the galaxy and they want to make us unlock our potential and help them defend the universe from the Reapers!!!!

Hurray for run-on sentences!

Still, wouldn't that be awesome!?!?!

 

[vivalahelvig]

All hail the Squid Overlords! All hail the Squid Overlords!
Odeprzeæ naje?d?ców! Zniszcz ich statków i wrzuci³ je do ognia!

I for one welcome any alien life, but im keeping my VSS vintorez under my pillow.

 

[DeAvatar]

As long as the Man-Kzin war doesn't get started, we'll be fine.

 

[icame]

Here's hoping for the close encounters of the third kind aliens and not the invasion of the body snatchers kind.

 

[johnzaku]

We merely wish to serve man

 

[ENKC]

If we haven't found the Protoss, I'm not interested. And if we've found some microbes, tell them to call us when they've evolved into something worth enslaving.

 

[Merkavar]

i hope they are sexy aliens.

Maybe we should hold off on wanting to have sex with anything until we know that they don't have razor sharp teeth in their mating orifices, or at the very least don't have space herpes.

if it doesnt hurt it means you arent doing it right
