Big Announcement from NASA

This seems fairly interesting:

NASA is planning to make a huge announcement today, about possible life in our own solar system.

Exact details of what we can expect to hear have not been released. We do know that evidence has been found that could point to life relatively close to the earth.

Official word is expected this afternoon at 2 p.m.

Although...I don't know. If they have found some microbes or space worms on another planet, I really don't care (I've always expected that). On the other hand, if they reveal some type of space mutant from Satriani 5, I might get a little more excited.

Update: Drudge is reporting that the announcement is in regards to the Cassini spacecraft finding geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus.

Update II: Drudge was right. It was only space geysers. No space mutants this time. Drats. heh

By the way...It looks like the news station that said the announcement was going to be about finding life is being taken to task.

Update III: Heh...From Michael Silence: "Blake and Drudge are missing the scoop, and I have it. NASA is announcing they found a Democratic strategy on Venus."

Now that's funny.

I wouldn't call it a hoax. I'd say that they misinterpreted NASA's intentions on what they were going to release. Looks like it was just a geyser, as Drudge reported.

No space worms or bacteria...or space mutants either. lol
