The Lyrid meteor shower will reach its peak this year during the night of April 22 - 23, 2013, although it will be visible for several days before and after. However, this meteor shower is not particularly rare. In fact, it takes place around the same time each and every year. The message, which circulates in the form of a graphic is an altered variant of a 2012 message that featured another annual meteor shower, Perseid Now now now, you tried to put me down without doing any research so eat your humble pie Me 10 You 0

Read about this a few months back. Unbelievable stuff. It has traveled billions of miles. It used to transmit images back to NASA but they switched the camera function off after it passed Jupiter, if I remember correctly, in order to preserve the battery so as it could travel further.

I still think they'll find nothing. In my view we are looking in the wrong places, we have come to the conclusion that a place must have water to harbour " Life as we Know it" but we should be looking for "life as we don't".

If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers.

An alien species on another planet made have evolved to live on liquid nitrogen for example it may breathe happily in Carbon dioxide rich environment.

This whole Goldilocks Theory is another stupid analogy, just because in an area of our galaxy were we are not too cold but not too warm we can support life so the same must be for others is as I stated above stupid.

Again evolution a species could have survived to live in -100 or +100 degrees, that has even been proven on our planet, you have some species which are very happy living in the antarctic put them in the Sahara they'll die within in a day and vice versa.

We need to explore new boundaries.  

Or they created us and are hiding and laughing.

Well If I was an alien I wouldn't want humanity to know I was an alien god knows what the greed and corruption of the world would do.

Been a good few weeks for space travel. Between Blue Origin and SpaceX and the space race they are on, very exciting time ahead. Lunar landings before too long and setting up base on the moon for refuelling and further exploration, will be cool to see how far we can really go.
