Has Hayabusa picked up alien life?

Interesting stuff. If this turns out to be true it could be a significant boost to the panspermia hypothesis.

I personally think it is fake. The Japanese just want to be recognized as the first people that found Alien life.

Interesting stuff. If this turns out to be true it could be a significant boost to the panspermia hypothesis. I agree. Along with this current news of the hyabusa probe, the possibility that the AH84001 meteorite contains evidence of fossilized martian bacteria has not been ruled out. None of the original features supporting our hypothesis for ALH84001 has either been discredited or has been positively ascribed to non-biologic explanations Allan Hills 84001 If what science is observing proves to be biological its similarity to terrestrial life would go a long way in support of the panspermia h...

So, the part where it says 'The particles were believed to have originated from Earth, the Yomiuri newspaper and Kyodo News agency reported', is this what is leading to the panspermia hypothesis or is it literally a typo? ..... because the title clearly says 'extraterrestrial'......as in they expect the particles may contain EXTRAterrestrial life... What's the deal here (with this article)?!

What's the deal here (with this article)?! Because that article was poorly written. It says more detail would be given later today. Which it is. Later today, I mean. Anyhow, that's a hell of a long trip to just fart around for a half an hour and he... [More]

Or maybe it will be dead and support a necrospermia theory
