a war with aliens would be so great for the world economy right now.
Life-giving compound found in space

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Scientists have uncovered fresh evidence that life could exist beyond Earth, with research published showing that comet dust contained traces of a compound vital to human existence.

Researchers probing dust and gas collected from the Wild 2 comet by NASA's S ust spacecraft in 2004 found traces of the amino acid glycine, lending credence to idea that there is life elsewhere in the universe.
"The discovery of glycine in a comet supports the idea that the fundamental building blocks of life are prevalent in space, and strengthens the argument that life in the universe may be common rather than rare," said Carl Pilcher, one of the space agency's top astrobiologists.
Jamie Elsila, lead author of the report, which was published in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science, said the findings also support the idea that the material elements of human life may have come from space.
"Our discovery supports the theory that some of life's ingredients formed in space and were delivered to Earth long ago by meteorite and comet impacts," she said.
The group's final findings confirm su ions that the amino acid -- which creates the proteins that form the building blocks of life -- were not simply earth-sourced contamination.
"We discovered that the S ust-returned glycine has an extraterrestrial carbon isotope signature, indicating that it originated on the comet," said Elsila.
Twenty different amino acids are arranged to build the millions of different proteins that make up everything from hair to enzymes, NASA said.

Earth is covered with water...those aliens will get ed quick fast and in a hurry!
our colds will kill them
Cousin Eddie will drunkenly find a way to kill them
A war to get rid of all religiouse people will eliminate at least 80% of the world population. Good for two reasons we eliminate the dead weight and the dumbasses. Now they are going to tell me about having faith. Give me a sign, that is all I ask, give me a sign. A burning bush, god talking to me from on high. Don't expect me to believe just cause you say so.
I believe you're looking for the 'completely random thought' thread a few rows down. Or any xFrodoBagginsx thread.
I love how you think a war where its 20% vs. 80% would somehow result in the 80% losing
Keanu Reeves will protect us.
him and jeff goldblum
Are the Aliens athiests or something? I got lost somewhere between finding life in space and the aliens killing all religious people.
Someone PM me when this turns into a religious battle in here.
Swing away, Juaquin! Swing way!
I think this is fascinating stuff.
Aliens don't believe in God.
I don't know about you, but I'm looking to Will Smith to protect us:
He's a poser the only reason he was in those movies, was because someone told him, "if you want to make it big, start off with alien movies cause they always get draws" I think that's why he put his son in that God awful the day the earth stood stillI don't know about you, but I'm looking to Will Smith to protect us:
lol @ some random comet's dust meaning aliens are around, or that "life is common rather than rare."
seems like some made up bs for more govt funding...
intresting i mean we cant possibly be the only living forms in the universe.
