NASA Announces Wednesday Media Teleconference About Search For Extraterrestrial Life
 
 
WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news media teleconference at 1:30 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, April 28, to discuss the status of agency-sponsored astrobiology research, including the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life and the study of how life began on Earth. Topics also will include the quest for evidence of life on Mars, the habitability of other celestial bodies, and future technology research.

This week, NASA and scientists from around the world are gathering at a biennial meeting near Houston to celebrate 50 years of astrobiology research. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. Scientists gathered to share new data and insights, initiate and advance collaborations, plan new projects, and educate the next generation of astrobiologists.

The teleconference participants are:
Mary Voytek, astrobiology senior scientist at NASA Headquarters, Washington
Steve Squyres, researcher, Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
Bill Schopf, researcher, University of California, Los Angeles
Jack Farmer, researcher, Arizona State University, Tempe, Ariz.
John Peters, researcher, Montana State University, Bozeman

To obtain call-in information, journalists should e-mail their name, media affiliation and telephone number to:

 dwayne.c.brown@nasa.gov

Audio of the teleconference will be streamed live on NASA's website at:

See? Even NASA officials know they can't keep the truth hidden much longer.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside. --Allan Bloom

That was Wednesday;  unfortunately, NASA balloon fiasco in Oz Thursday.  (Presumably Balloon Boy was nowhere near...)

And be sure to check out another NASA exclusive about water found on Mars years ago!  (Note the date):

But SOME of us don't need further photographic ET proof...           (Ok, I'll stop now.)
