Locked Out	Here it is. fromtheold.com/news/space/nasa-make-big-...discovery-20306.html You're right, of course, this article is nothing at all to do with the "big announcement" trailed in this thread. I posted it because, as is the way of "big announcements", the results are more than usually underwhelming. This one's from August and your reaction to it tells me that the "big" announcement quoted completely escaped your notice too. I wouldn't hold out too much hope for tomorrow's "big announcement" being any more interesting than this one which, as far as most people are concerned, is probably not at all. As I said, "so much for big announcements". Much trailed on the internet, little impact on real life.
Pumpkinhead	but - is there intelligent life in putney?
steveimp	According to Richard Dawkins, there is a possibility of life being found in arsenic compounds, which changes the rules of biology quite a little.
Plissken	Don't know where you got those quotes from, Locked Out, but I see nothing regarding Kepler on NASA's announcement of this press conference. NASA has said that the press conference relates to astrobiology. For me, that rules out the possibility of another tedious announcement of an earth-like planet being discovered a gazillion miles away.. I suspect they will be talking about something much closer to home. Perhaps the discovery of microbes on one of Saturn's moons...? Such a revelation would surely rank as one of the most profound scientific discoveries of all time.
Innocent Accused	There is no doubt intelligent life out there....but 8c years of George Bush will no doubt have persuaded them to take their hols elsewhere.
