You might be standing on an interplanetary message
By John Stoehr
Will the dead rise on Jupiter? Could we stop them if we tried?
Weird things are happening at major intersections in downtown Cincinnati -- unnoticed by police or passers-by until it's too late.
Someone is planting bizarre messages on tiles embedded in the road surface. What the tiles are made of, who is placing them and how they get away with it -- all of these questions remain unanswered. What is known is this: We are not alone. The mysterious tiles have been spotted in roads throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Nije neka nova vijest, još iz tamo davne 2001. Ali ono što povezujem s tom viješću je sljedeća:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Proof that life exists outside the boundaries of Earth continues to elude scientists, but President Bush's budget suggests that ``space aliens'' may be out there. And it could just be a matter of time before they are discovered.
In a brief passage titled ``Where Are the Real Space Aliens?'' Bush's budget document released Monday says several important scientific discoveries in the past decade indicate that ``habitable worlds'' in outer space may be much more prevalent than once thought.The finds include evidence of currently or previously existing large bodies of water - a key ingredient of life as we know it - on Mars and on Jupiter's moons.
The president calls for $279 million next year and $3 billion over five years for Project Prometheus, which includes building the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter.
"This mission will conduct extensive, in-depth studies of the moons of Jupiter that may harbor subsurface oceans and thus have important implications in the search for life beyond Earth," the budget reads.
The budget is the second time in recent months that the Bush administration has addressed questions about life in space.
