Aliens on Comets! Aliens on Comets!

Lets bring a sample back!

I guess since it's the first we should name it something that starts with an 'A'...

How about "Andromeda", after our galaxy's closest neighbor?
 
journalists are, as always, jumping the gun.

They found organic material and weird structures and that's cool, but there might be nothing else to it.
 
Are they large enought to fry or eat?


We could spur the race to stars by discovering something so damn delicious that we JUST HAVE TO GO OUT TO GET!

:hmm:



Panspermia, further proof of intelligent design.
...or that Life flourishes naturally in this universe.
