Please, Let There Be Life

December 9th, 2003

If there is one “cool” thing that I’d like to see happen while I inhabit Earth would be to find life on another planet. I’ll not talking about the silly looking space Martians that have big oval eyes and points sticking out of their heads. I’m talking about finding organic life which may bring some clues as to how all of this started i.e. Earth. Something even cooler would be able to actually travel through space and live on another planet. No?

To further my hope, “NASA has announced”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/12/09/MNGON3J5RN1.DTL that they plan on sending a giant nuclear powered spacecraft to the Jupiter moon Europa to explore. They don’t plan on launching “JIMO”:http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/jimo/ anytime soon, maybe as early as 2012.

Yes, I’m a “Big Bang theory”:http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/universe/b_bang.html believer. I just don’t see one person waving his hands and creating Earth. I hope I didn’t disappoint anyone, but that’s just the way I see it. BTW, there is a new theory dubbed “Brane-Storm”:http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/astronomy/bigbang_alternative_010413-1.html that is similar to the Big Bang yet centers around a 5th dimension. Yeah, ok, whatever.. Would somebody just figure this out already
