Here's a little fact I read from Steve's article for those who didn't read it; When Curiosity lands (or crashes) NASA won't know for another 14 minutes because the signal has to travel 154,000,000 miles just to get back to Earth.

Cruise stage separation is now complete. 15 minutes til we land!

Overflow · 08-06-2012, 12:30 AM

2 minutes to go!

Overflow · 08-06-2012, 12:34 AM

Curiosity is now safely on Mars.

What if an alien came up and poked it

I mean that would be pretty ground breaking lol.

Overflow · 08-06-2012, 12:56 AM

Well yeah. But it's not like the government would allow NASA to publicly release the film.

Oh I'm 95% confident the Gov is well aware of extra terrestrial life. Wouldn't even surprise me if we were in contact with them on a frequent basis.

Overflow · 08-06-2012, 01:06 AM

Oh god yes. No doubt. But are they gonna admit that they are? Not for a long time.

Imagine the bombardment of ridiculous information the President gets when he first sits down in his office for the first time after an election. I bet it's all very hard to swallow and keep quiet.

Overflow · 08-06-2012, 01:12 AM

I know. I hear all these conspiracy theories, and I know some of them are true, so just imagine what the president feels like!

AdamZ · 08-06-2012, 01:17 AM

I heard the first thing the President gets is an manila envelope on his desk. Then he is locked in the Oval office and he just reads all the secrets.

Like they said right after the election Obama went into his office and on his chair was an envelope titled "44". Then he reads that and goes from there.

So many secrets.

I would love to get a hold of just one file that has years of secrets in them. Its funny how the government thinks we're clueless about ET stuff.
